Final 2012 burn-down for Woodstock FPD

The Woodstock Fire Protection District completed their burn downs of the model homes that were offered to them after the development failed. Previous posts outlining the training and burn-downs can be found HERE. This final installment involved a five-unit townhouse off of Route 47 (S. Eastwood Drive) north of Lucas Road. On Friday morning the 28th of December, firefighters loaded each of the units with straw and wood before setting them on fire. A small crowd was on-hand to observe the inferno, including Tim Olk and Larry Shapiro, both of whom photographed the event.

Several images from Larry Shapiro are posted below as well as a lengthy video.
