In East Brainerd this week, Chattanooga fire recruits will undergo training during a burn at a house in the 8100 block of Bermerwood Drive, a little north of Heritage Park off of Jenkins Road, according to a statement from the Chattanooga Fire Department.
Live drills will be conducted Tuesday through Friday, officials said.
The house located at 8199 Bermerwood Drive “will be prepped and the situation will be controlled,” fire officials said. “Department staff will practice extinguishing fires in different rooms. A whole-house burn will follow.”
The home was offered to the fire department for training purposes which Fire Chief Phil Hyman said is an excellent way for fire recruits to hone their skills.
