A 2 ½ story frame dwelling that is scheduled to be demolished was recently given to the Hawthorne Fire Department for their use in training. All HFD companies and Glen Rock firefighters responded on Sunday, February 27th to the structure that was fully smoked to simulate a basement fire. Well experienced members taught the newer members hose stretching, searching, venting, and many other needed operations. Having an actual structure to train on is extremely useful. The firefighters left with much more useful information than they arrived with.
