RFC was granted permission to hold training drills at the Hamilton property located at Eagle Road and Strafford Avenue.
Tonight, firefighters were able to hold more realistic scenarios, advancing hose lines up several flights of stairs and conducting searches in the large house.
A smoke machine was used to fill the third floor with theatrical smoke, which made a more realistic environment for the firefighters. In addition, traffic cones were illuminated with lights to simulate the fire area.
RFC will continue to use the property for more training in the coming weeks.
