10/4/09 Salem Burn House

Firefighters from Salem, Gardner Lake, Colchester and other area departments met at the Salem Burn House on Route 82 for the last time Sunday morning. Companies conducted some last live fire trainings before letting the A-Frame home burn to the ground.
Over the last three years, with help from the Salem Fire Department, this house assisted departments from all over Connecticut and then some with many useful trainings such as, live fire, Search and Rescue, Rapid Intervention Team and Truck and Engine company operations to name a few.
It's not to often that area fire departments are able to obtain a home like this to use for this purpose. A special thanks to the House of Doors and all of the Instructors that helped make this possible.
