Fire Behavior in a Structure Fire - Drill in Spencertown 02/27/23
The Spencertown Fire Company hosted a drill about fire behavior in a structure fire. Austerlitz Fire District Assistant Chief Evan Kerr built a small structure that was used in the drill. Burning the structure with its "rooms, doors and windows" showed firefighters conditions of changing smoke, flashovers and back drafts. 
​
Firefighters from Austerlitz, Spencertown, Canaan, Ghent and Red Rock participated.
