Lewis County Fire District 8 will be burning down a house tomorrow in the Onalaska area, as they practice fighting fire.

The training at the 200 block of Gore Road will begin at 8 a.m. and last until 3 p.m., according to Chief Duran McDaniel.

Joining them will be personnel from fire districts in Mossyrock and Onalaska, according to McDaniel.

It will happen again on Thursday evening beginning at 7 p.m. with a second house, at the 2300 block of U.S. Highway 12 in Salkum. McDaniel said that should last about four hours.

Both houses, built in the 1930s, were donated to the fire department, he said.

    Letting the fire department “practice” on old homes is great, whether building a new home on an old homestead, getting rid of a damaged home, or just cleaning up property. I’d rather that the fire department had those homes to practice with so that (God Forbid!) I need them on my own home.
