THE BEST WAY TO TRAIN FOR A FIRE The FRESS Killam Station held a practice burn last Wednesday, Feb. 7, just outside of Killam off Highway 36 at the invitation of the Graff family. The building had just become a nuisance, said Killam Station Chief Joe Knievel, for snakes and other pests. Firefighters arrived on scene just after 7 p.m. after putting out caution signs for highway traffic, and lit fires inside the structure shortly afterwards. The building took about an hour to become fully engulfed, with the roof caving in some time before the building’s walls fell or were pushed in by training personnel. Firefighters sprayed parts of the surrounding trees and yard to ensure that no flying embers would catch. More photos inside. ERIC ANDERSON PHOTOS
