14 Hometown Messenger Live burns add new level to firefighter training Rahr donates houses to area departments When it comes to fire training, nothing beats the real thing: a live burn. Over the past few weeks, the Shakopee Fire Department, as well as several other area departments, have been conducting live training burns on vacant houses near Rahr Malting in west Shakopee. Rahr Malting donated the houses, located north of County Road 69, to make room for future development. Assistant Fire Chief Dave Judd said the generous donation provides the Department with a unique opportunity to conduct level 2 and level 3 fire training. While VIDEO: Check out the City’s recent video firefighters do practice with the gas fire at the on the live burn training on YouTube at www. youtube.com/user/CityofShakopeeMN.
