A house scheduled for demolition was recently used to practice attacking actual fires. The homeowners plan to build a new home and graciously offered the PHFD use of the home for such training. These opportunities are extremely valuable and infrequent. By following safety procedures actual fires are ignited inside the building and then firefighters are sent to extinguish them. A variety of techniques can be practiced and improved this way. Over three days of training nearly all PHFD firefighters had multiple opportunities to practice their skills. The PHFD is extremely thankful to the homeowners for their generous support in this endeavor.
