On
Saturday April 4th, 2009 Clay County Fire Rescue conducted a live
fire training burn for the current volunteer firefighters in the
training program. In addition to volunteer firefighter students,
career and volunteer firefighters from Stations 13, 14, 15, and
22 participated in the training event. Several chief officers were
also on hand to supervise and lead
the training event.
The
acquired structure was located on Eagles Hammock Blvd in the Clay
Hill area. These live fire training burns using acquired structures
provides invaluable experience to fir firefighters who participate
in the training. Additionally, it saves the property owner in demolition
costs, as most of the structure is consumed in a fire after all
of the training burns are completed.
