Here our guys train on buildings that people donate to burn for a tax write off... but then they have to spend to clean up the mess! <br /><br />I guess if you've got a good foundation...

The fire department got it out but it was a total loss so I had to tear it apart and haul the whole mess to the landfill. What I couldn't recycle anyway. <br /><br />In Colville the volunteer firemen were proud of saying they had saved another foundation, ha ha ha.
