Thinking of Demolition?
If you've recently purchased a piece of property and would like to demolish a building on it, consider letting the Fire Department train in it first. WE DON'T HAVE TO BURN THE BUILDING DOWN TO BENEFIT FROM TRAINING IN AN OLD STRUCTURE.
Live fire training is typically conducted in these buildings, with strictest adherence to safety standards. There is no liability for the owners of these structures to firefighters who train in them. Firefighters can train in search and rescue, ventilation, forcible entry and firefighter survival without burning the building. For more information call 815-286-7711. |
