HIGH SPRINGS, Fla. — A fire raged Sunday at a High Springs home, but this blaze had no ties to tragedy, heartache or even significant danger.
High Springs firefighters burned the home, located on Northwest First Avenue between 12th and 13th Streets, as a way to train new firefighters.
The group of 16 firefighters — two of whom were from a Bell fire unit, and the rest from High Springs — began training with smoke exercises at the home at 7:30 a.m. and continued well into the afternoon until actually lighting the home and burning the structure.
