It's not every day that you get to light a car on fire for your job, so Cowlitz 2 firefighters were burning with enthusiasm Thursday to do just that at the agency's Vine Street headquarters in Kelso. Firefighters breached a flaming cargo container stocked with wooden pallets and doused a blazing car frame hooked up to propane tanks. The new props were fabricated by Waite Specialty Machine in Longview. "It was fun" to make them, lead designer Branden Harvill told the firefighters after the demonstration. With a big grin, firefighter/EMT Arrick Crayne replied: "It's gonna be more fun for us." The exercise was fairly short, but it has big implications for the department, said Crayne, who's been with the agency since 2014 and who was instrumental in improving the agency's fire training setup.
