(Martin, Tennessee) Probationary firefighter Jalen Tucker works on breaching walls in a building recently donated to the Martin Fire Department. Vertical ventilation training, search and rescue, and mayday scenarios were also conducted earlier in the week. Actual training structures are hard to come by for smaller departments, so no part of this structure went to waste. Martin Fire used the donated building for two weeks before tearing it down to make way for a parking lot.
