Burning down the House!!

I don't think I have mentioned on my blog that Nick is training to be a fire fighter and EMT. He is hoping that after he gets a job with a fire department that he will be able to go back to school to get his paramedic license. Last Saturday during his training they got to burn down a house! The university purchased three homes near campus, one was bulldozed a couple of weeks ago and the other two will be used for fire training.
Nick is the one in front about to walk into the burning house (yikes!). He is a little easier to find in pictures than some of the others because his Jacket has yellow stripes and his pants have orange stripes.
Nick is on the right with his helmet off in this photo.
Here he is at the top of the steps.
Here are pictures of the BIG fire from beginning to the end.
This is the back of the house.
All that was left of the house was some of the brick around the front and one of the chimneys.
Last but not least here is a video of the fire. Watch the front of the house, I hope you like it!
