On Tuesday, November 28th, area fire departments conducted a controlled burn of a house on Penny Street in High Point.  The fire departments used the burn as an exercise to develop their fire attack skills.  They would light the fire, attack and knock it down.  Then they would discuss their techniques and do it all over again.  Finally, after several cycles, they did a final burn of the house, letting it go till the house was gutted.

The High Point-Thomasville Chapter Disaster Action Team was on the scene providing canteen and support services to the fire and rescue units.

The pictures below are just a sample of the photos taken at the scene.  See the entire photo selection in the two albums:  Photo Album 1    Photo Album 2
