Narrative: On Tuesday May 11, 2010, Tacoma Fire Department participated in a residential training burn at 922 Linden Lane in Tacoma’s West Slope neighborhood.Approximately 30 firefighters and staff participated in several drills throughout the day. The enormous size (6,000 square feet) and the specific style of the construction of the house gave crews the unique opportunity to practice flat roof ventilation techniques, forcible entry, interior fire attack, “softening” of the buildings security features and to set multiple fires in numerous room configurations.
