Parrish Fire District along with private partners worked together for two years to acquire this structure for the purpose of using live fire and eventually burning it down. Firefighters spent over 40 hours training in the structure, drilling on search and rescue, ventilation, forcible entry and other skills. Once the structure was approved by the county the final drill was initial attack and then the Big Burn. Partners working alongside Parrish Fire District were Dave Schneeberger with Forrest Excavating, Joe Pescatore with Vaughan Bay Construction, and Mike Keegan with Florida Fire Service. The structure provided a great training opportunity for not only the newer firefighters, but also a great refresher for the veteran firefighters.
