The City of Fillmore Fire Department in conjunction with the Oxnard Fire Department will be conducting a live fire training exercise. The training will commence November 4, 2009 between the hours of 8:00AM – 5:00PM. The location slated for training is located at 46 C Street, just south of C Street & River Street in Fillmore.
Training is planned to include the burning of a 900 square foot abandoned residential structure. Smoke and flames will be visible throughout the area however should have a minimal impact on both traffic and routine activities.

The purpose of this exercise is to provide fire personnel the rare opportunity to obtain hands-on experience with live fire in a controlled non-emergent environment. The process will be supervised by experienced personnel and will follow strict safety guidelines set by the California State Fire Marshal and the National Fire Protection Agency. This process provides invaluable training experience for fire personnel while simultaneously reducing the cost to demolish such structures.
