NAPAVINE – A two-story house on Rush Road in Napavine served as a training site today for firefighters from Lewis County Fire Districts 5 and 6.

Some 30 members of the two departments practiced various aspects of dealing with structure fires, according to Fire  Lt. Laura Hanson.

“We got watch some live fire behavior, do some hose work, it was great,” Hanson said.
