PHOTOS - More than 30 firefighters from across Clallam County watched as blazes ripped through two buildings that they had set on fire in Port Angeles on Sunday as part of a training burn. “Our job is normally to … get in there as fast as we can and put it out,” said Jake Patterson, deputy chief of Clallam County Fire District No. 2. “This, we want to keep it burning a little bit so that we can get training value out of it.” Firefighters from the Port Angeles Fire Department and Clallam County Fire Districts No. 2 and 4 participated in the training at 1520 W. Lauridsen Boulevard and 1430 W. Lauridsen Boulevard. They used controlled burns to demolish two houses which were scheduled for demolition and donated to the firefighters.
