Sunday June 1st at 8:30 am
30 firefighters from Mt. Gilead attended a "Live Burn"
training session at 710 North Main Street. The firefighters started
with one room fires in the upstairs bedrooms. Crews of 4 firefighters
went into the structure trying to locate the fire and extinguish
it. When firefighters located the fire, they would knock the
flames down, switch nozzle firefighters and the let the fire
build up again. The fire training was conducted this way until
every firefighter had operated the nozzle. Later on the fires
were allowed to burn hotter simulating actual residential fire
situations. All during the time firefighters were conducting
fire suppression operations there were at least 2 safety officers
inside the burn area with the firefighters. Later in the day
firefighters let the rooms get even hotter for the seasoned veterans
to practice. At approximately 2:30/3:00 pm the house was lit
for the final time. Firefighters attempted to extinguish the
fire when multiple rooms were set on fire, but were unable to
do so with the lines already played on the afire. Then it was
time to let the house burn.

· Methlab
cooks are buying propane tanks from the exchanges at Wal-Mart,
Kroger, and emptying them of the propane gas.
· Then they
fill the propane tanks with anhydrous ammonia, which they now
have a recipe to cook Methamphetamine.
· After
they are finished with the propane tanks, they return them to
the store. The stores refill the tanks with propane gas, unknowing
to them the improper substance that was inserted in the tanks
and sell them to their consumers.
· Anhydrous
ammonia is very corrosive and weakens the structure of the tank.
· It can
be very dangerous when mixed with propane gas and hooked up to
a grill, recreation vehicle, etc.
You should inspect the propane tank for any blue or greenish
residue around the valve areas.
· If there
are evidences of these substances, do not purchase the propane
tank and advise the vendor of your findings.
If you smell anhydrous
ammonia in a residential area, notify the authorities.
