Today members descended at 4 US Route 1 right on the Kittery town line for the final evolution in that house. Members have trained there for several Thursday nights on various topics. But today was the final burn. Members got 6 good training fires out of the house before tearing it down and burning the rubble in a pile. Firefighters get valuable training during live fire evolutions that cannot be gleaned in any other way. It is very hard to describe how fire burns to somebody who has never been into an actual fire and seen how fire behaves in a wooden structure. The lessons learned yesterday by some of our newest members won’t be soon forgotten. Some of our seasoned members also got to perfect their technique. All who participated learned something and had fun.
