Old house that has long stood on Davidson Road in East Brainerd will be torched for practice for fire cadets.
The recruits in Fire Academy 2015 will be involved in live fire training exercises this week at a donated house at 7606 Davidson Road.
The fire training instructors will be teaching the recruits about search and rescue in a smoke-filled house, and they will be putting out fires in individual rooms. Then on Friday, the house will be burned to the ground.
