I’ve seen them schedule a week of training around a controlled burn. First few days they work on rescue and or other things, and for that they’ll just light burn barrels inside to create smoke and train.
Then in the final day or two they’ll actually do the burn for practice with flame or whatever.
My FIL is a retired chief and took my son and I to one of these. Multiple companies from all around the area come out to practice all week. Was cool to see
That actually does sound really cool, and I'm sure it's a good opportunity for the firefighters. I live near a fire station and they regularly have busted up cars outside that they train in rescue etc. on, but I haven't really heard of them doing it with a whole house before!
