ICYMI: Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we prepared our new burn building for live fire training.

Before any realistic fire scenarios could take place, the building had to be seasoned—a controlled process that strengthens the concrete to handle repeated high heat without cracking or spalling.

Here’s how it worked:
🚨 9 Burn Rooms
🚨 Initial burn in each room: 2 pallets + 1 bale of hay to remove moisture and create a soot layer
🚨 Followed by 3 more burns per room using 2 pallets each—spread out over 3 days

This methodical approach allowed us to monitor the structure, prevent damage, and ensure the building was ready for the intense training our firefighters rely on.

We’re proud to unveil this critical addition to our training ground—purpose-built to prepare, protect, and honor the work of our fire service.

And thank you, again, to Martin County Public Works for construction!
