Fire engines crews and other fire department equipment will be out on Rector Road today where Nevada County Firefighters will intentionally set a donated house on fire so they can practice firefighting skills and techniques.

They hope to complete the burn and exercise by 2 o’clock this afternoon. Local residents are reminded that, if you see smoke coming from the Rector Road area and lots of fire equipment in the area, it is a training exercise.
