Firefighters from six La Crosse area departments put their skills to the test during the Shelby Fire Department Live Fire Training Evolution Saturday afternoon near St. Joseph Ridge. The firefighters geared up and battled flames that were ignited in two burn rooms inside a house structure. According to Shelby Fire Department officials, the training allows a rotation of crews to advance a hose line into a burn room and extinguish the blaze. Fire Chief of the Shelby Fire Department Tony Holinka said that the training program relies on houses donated by the public. And the scarcity of houses does not allow the training to happen very often.
