Firefighters and medics from Clallam County Fire District 2 pose for photos in front of a flaming house, part of a training exercise on Sunday at 2354 E. Fifth Ave. in the Gales Addition east of Port Angeles.
The burn of the donated house allowed firefighters to hone their skills in a live-fire scenario through two days of training sessions.
Once extinguished, the site will be cleared to make way for future development.
