Normally, firefighters are the ones putting out fires. But, Saturday in Prosser, they were responsible for a pretty big one, and that fire was no accident.
For the past few months, West Benton firefighters have been using a house on Florence Street for nighttime fire training. The house was donated by Joel Hughes, who bought it roughly a year ago in hopes of building new homes on the land. Joel came to an agreement with the fire department that they could use the house to train in, lighting and putting out small fires in each room, if they burned the entire house down after their last training session.
