KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. - Firefighters from Klamath County Fire District #1 and Kingsley Fire, along with Cadets from the Klamath Community College Fire Academy had real-life fire training today south of Klamath Falls.

A burn-to-learn exercise was conducted off Laverne Avenue. An abandoned building was prepped for live-fire training. Instructors were able to conduct scenarios where cadets and firefighters alike could practice in real-world situations in and around the structure.

In the end, due to the damage conducted from the training scenarios the building was burned in a controlled manner of controlled demolition. Allowing cadets and firefighters to better understand and witness the science of structural fire behavior first hand.
