Part 1. 11 months ago work began on expanding our training site. We went from 3 cans and 1 burn room to three floors, 2 burn rooms, high angle rescue prop, confined space training area, and soon...a standpipe system. All this possible due to Pittsboro giving us the site and Chief Zeunik fully supporting the Training Division. Sam Kraeszig
