This was no accident, firefighters set this abandoned home on fire for training purposes. They had been chopping into the house for weeks to practice techniques, and this week was the big blaze. Donating an old structure for firefighting training is an option for property owners wanting to clear out a building.

Interesting shot.
ReplyDeleteDid you just happen upon it, or did you hear about it ahead of time and planned to be there?
Really a good capture, I like the idea of firefighters burning down a house. For training purposes...
ReplyDeleteThank goodness it was for training.
ReplyDeleteHi MoJo - I just happened upon it, a lucky thing.
ReplyDeleteA good reason to have your camera with you at all times!
ReplyDeleteThey would never allow anything like that here.
ReplyDeleteI can't give enough credit to firefighters. One of the worst part of Navy boot camp was firefighting. You couldn't pay me enough!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot...
The title is one my favourite Talking Heads' song! :-)
ReplyDeleteBring your own marshmallows I presume?
