Training burns serve several important functions

Clark County Fire District 6 officials don’t usually predict house fires, but tomorrow will be an exception in the Lake Shore neighborhood north of Vancouver.

Fire District 6 will be conducting a training burn at an abandoned house at the corner of 94th Street and 21st Avenue, just south of Columbia River High School.

Training burns serve several important functions.  They help landowners get rid of abandoned, neglected structures and more importantly they provide invaluable experience for firefighters in battling real-life structure fires. 

Firefighters will practice fire extinguishment principles, search and rescue and other vital fire-ground activities.

Fire District 6 units will be lighting the structure on fire beginning at 9 a.m. and lasting until the entire house is burned to the ground, likely around 3 p.m.  The physical address is 2004 NW 94th Street. 

Information provided by Clark County Fire District 6.
