Obtaining an acquired structure for live fire training is a rare opportunity, so when we get one, we try and utilize every possible training opportunity. We had a few weeks of evolutions inside the house with training smoke. Saturday Nov. 18th, we successfully ran several live fire scenarios, before allowing the structure to burn completely. It was a long, exhausting day, but that is what we train for as an actual fire will be long and exhausting too!
The developer that donated the house will finish clean-up and then build something new on-site.
Cannot resist a group photo in the morning!
