The Huron River Joint Fire District has a new training tool, thanks to Monroeville High School industrial technology students. “The Huron River Joint fire department approached us to make these doll houses that they (use to) practice learning how the smoke patterns go through them,” teacher Greg Boltz said.
The doll houses are about four feet tall, three feet wide and two feet deep.
“They have all these different openings that they let smoke go through,” Boltz said, referring to windows and openings that can be opened or closed. “They learn how the smoke goes through the house.”
Firefighters provided the school with the materials. Carter Lumber and Modern Builders Supply Inc. donated the wood.
