A vacant house fire at the corner of California St & Randolph in the historic Five Points District ended up serving as a valuable learning experience for upcoming firefighters. The house was being remodeled and as soon as firefighters broke down the door, a few fell immediately into a hole behind the door. No firefighters were injured and the fire occupying the basement level and attic were under control within an hour. Fire officials tell NEWS 19 the floor conditions poised a real challenge and the outcome could have been far worse. Given the older, historic nature of the home and the variables of the fire, Huntsville Fire Department leaders thought the rookies needed to see the house first-hand. Trainers walked the recruits around the home and up to the hole where other firefighters fell through.
