WATCH: Falls Fire Department Lights Fuse on Real-World Training

Monday's live burn at 3655 Wyoga Lake Rd. was the culmination of a week-long training exercise to offer area firefighters the real scenarios they'll encounter on the job.

On Sept. 10, after almost a year of preparation, the department began a series of training exercises at the home in order to offer real-world training to scores of area firefighters.  Departments from Bath, Garfield Heights, Mogadore and Stow were just some that joined Falls firefighters in the array of training exercises that included attacking and extinguishing fires and search and rescue. Refer to the video above for the full story.
