The structure will be burned to its foundation, but smoldering embers will be visible inside the foundation after the training exercise is completed.
Residents in this area that have breathing difficulties should keep their windows closed and their HVAC systems off during this time frame. Town residents should not be alarmed to see a column of smoke from this area during this time.
