The City of Fillmore Fire Department in conjunction with the Oxnard Fire Department conducted a live fire training exercise on Wednesday, November 4th, at 46 C Street, by the old sewer plant. The abandoned 900-sq/ ft. garage went up in flames as part of a training exercise for the Fillmore Fire Department. The burn provided fire personnel the rare opportunity to obtain hands-on experience with live fire in a controlled non-emergent environment. The process was supervised by experienced personnel and followed strict safety guidelines set by the California State Fire Marshal and the National Fire Protection Agency. The process provided invaluable training experience for fire personnel while simultaneously reducing the cost to demolish the structure.
