Burn Schools or "Burn to Learn 's"
Occasionally, we get to fight fires in controlled conditions. These are done when a structure comes available to the department that meets safety and
environmental criteria, and the weather conditions are right. This is one of the few opportunities that a new firefighter gets to experience the
heat and the smoke of a structure fire. We call these, Burns to Learn.
With fire burning in one of the rooms, the teams must get together to ventilate, and then make a 2 hose attack. A Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) is standing by, just in case.

Defensive water streams being used to keep the flames and burning ash away from surrounding structures in the neighborhood.
Once the structure gets to burning, we have to keep an eye out for any potential dangers. FF Jesse Schonau-Taylor takes a walk around.
