House Engulfed In Flames For Fire Training

Multiple fire crews battle a blaze in Goshen.Â
Â
Don’t worry, it’s just a drill.Â
Â
Volunteer crews from Bullock and Pike counties spent Saturday training on an old home donated to the departments.Â
For some of the newer volunteers, this is their first house fire.Â
Â
Crews worked together on different training techniques before engulfing the house in flames.Â
Â
Meeksville Volunteer Fire Chief Louis Davis said, “It’s really beneficial because it’s basically on-the-job training. We don’t get to do this very often. So every little bit of training helps us out, out the community helps out the whole county.”
Â
Volunteer crews have to work with a lot less. Meeksville says if they are lucky their annual budget will be about $13,000. They have to stretch that a long way to cover fuel, insurance and bills.Â
