Napavine area residents can expect to see smoke and flames as early 10 a.m. tomorrow, as firefighters-in-training burn down a house.

Personnel and equipment will be on scene in the 900 block of Rush Road, according to Newaukum Valley Fire and Rescue, formerly known as Lewis County Fire District 5.

Firefighter Maria Kennedy said crews from multiple area departments will participate.

“This type of training provides firefighter recruits with a controlled and realistic fire behavior experience, with emphasis on firefighter safety,” Kennedy states in a news release.

Kennedy said how long it lasts will be in part weather dependent.
