Burnin' down the house!!

Post by valerie »

Our local paper today has an article on homeowners in a nearby town who

donated their "estate-like" hillside home for firefighter training. They wanted

to build a newer house and apparently the cost was too much just

to remodel.



The training exercise lasted about 10 hours and involved about 25

firefighters and volunteers. All that was left at the end of the day was the

view (of 100 acres!!) and a backyard pool.



Best of all, for the owners, donating the house for the training counts as

a tax-deductible charitable contribution!
