San Marcos Fire-Training Burn May 7th

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX United

The San Marcos Fire Department will conduct structure fire training on Thursday, May 7 at 8 am using a house in San Marcos that was slated to be demolished. The training exercise is scheduled until 5 pm, but may conclude sooner. The house is located at 419 Autumn Drive. 

During the exercise, training instructors will set fires in prepped rooms. Fire crews will size-up the fire and then select and execute the appropriate strategies and tactics for the situation. This will be repeated several times as long as the building remains safe. When the house is damaged to the point that training activities are no longer safe, the house will be allowed to burn down completely. Fire crews will remain on hand until the fires are completely extinguished.

 Live fire training provides experience for firefighters that will make them safer and more effective during actual fire emergencies.

 No street closures are planned during this exercise; however, local residents should be advised of the activity.

For more information, please call San Marcos Fire Department Division Chief Chuck Morton at (760) 744-1050, extension 3502.

We had a fire-training burn a few years ago just down the hill from me. As I was coming home, the smoke pattern almost looked like it was my house because of the way mine sits on the hillside above the one that was being burned. I had no idea that they did that kind of stuff here in California. Just sounds dangerous when we already live in a high fire-hazard area.
