Burning Down the House

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.

  1. Interesting shot.

    Did you just happen upon it, or did you hear about it ahead of time and planned to be there?

  7. I can't give enough credit to firefighters. One of the worst part of Navy boot camp was firefighting. You couldn't pay me enough!

    Great shot...
