Hot hands-on training

Smoke filled the air as a Blackberry Township house burned to the ground on Tuesday, but there was no need to call 911.
The house, located at 27213 County Road 91, was donated to the Grand Rapids Fire Department, and used in a live burn training exercise.
Live burn training presents a rare opportunity for the fire department to practice fire suppression techniques in a controlled environment. Fire Chief Travis Cole said live burns are the most realistic training scenario his department can participate in.
“They’re a great asset and very valuable when we can get them,” Cole said
These training exercises only occur when a house or structure is donated to the department for burning. When a house is donated, hazardous materials are removed from the structure and proper permits are secured from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Department of Natural Resources.
