huh? this is a legitimate option? FD training?

 

Yes sir, dont know what Harford County's problem is, but most jurisdictions are frothing at the bit to train on live burns.

 

I have seen that kind of stuff here in Nashville & Franklin too - pretty neat stuff.

 

Frederick County has a live training facility on Reels Mills Rd

 

MoCo has one too, with a few buildings and a massive tower... right off Rt 28 in Rockville across from Travillah Square.

 

 

Many jurisdictions do, but the tower is just that, the tower. Masonry, the same drill over and over again. Live burns in residences are better and more variable.

 

Looks like a good project. Should be fun.

 

My colleague is the VP of the local volunteer FD. They do training burns all the time. It is typically how we demo any houses on the lots we buy.

I am really surprised that the local FD isn't interested, B... From what I understand from the guy I work with, they prefer this sort of arrangement. As Zeke pointed out, it is infinitely more realistic.

Good luck just the same. My offer to help still stands. Let me know...

 

So, let's just torch it. Then they have to come...
