controlled burn for training

All posts tagged controlled burn for training

Firefighters from all three Wellesley Township (ON) stations participated in a house burn June 8, 2019 on Lobsinger Line. The house was owned by a Linwood firefighter who had purchased the farm and is building a new home on property. Firefighters had a good day to use their new Smeal tower which had been picked up the day before. The property had a pond approximately 800 feet from the house.

St Clements pumper set up at the pond to feed the Wellesley pumper and tower. The clear cool day had an east wind which was unusual for the area. The normal wind comes out of the west. Firefighters rotated going up in the bucket and running the new quint. Crews were very happy with the new truck.

I came across this burn down by the Crown Point (IN) Fire Department the other night (9-29-14) as I was driving along I65. It didn’t take me long to get to the site from the highway, but the structure had already collapsed. Nonetheless, I couldn’t pass a building on fire without stopping to take some photos.

They had just completed three days of training scenarios in this house.
