The Broadview Fire Department conducted live fire training exercises on Thursday at Filmore and 17th. They did room fires in a vacant house for several hours before the house was well involved. Tim Olk was on-hand and submitted several images of the firefighters, the apparatus, and the fires. Other MABAS Division 20  departments were also included in the training evolutions.
