Anchorage Fire Department to Conduct Live Fire Training

On Wednesday, March 19 and Thursday, March 20 from noon – 5 pm each day, the Anchorage Fire Department will conduct live fire training in a fire flashover simulation trailer under controlled conditions. This exercise is part of training exercises for fire academy cadets. It will take place near 100th Ave and King Street. Smoke may be present in the area.

This activity occurs during the final two weeks of training for fire academy cadets to simulate a realistic fire scenario. Weather conditions, including air quality and smoke ventilation factor, will be assessed to ensure that air quality will not be adversely affected.
