Where's the Fire?

On June 08, 2006 , the local Steilacoom Fire Department got an opportunity that doesn't come very often. They were able to practice fire fighting and life saving techniques on a building that wasn't on fire. Since the old Steilacoom apartments were scheduled to be demolished on June 09, 2006 , it gave the Fire Department a extraordinary chance for fire fighters to practice fire and rescue skills on a non-burning building.

Fire Fighters practiced venting the roof, venting ceilings, and creating escape passages for rescue. BNCC INC, was happy to be able to help the community by letting the Fire Department use the old building for training.
