The Jackson Township Fire Department received a special treat this October when the homeowners at 1555 Zuber Road in Grove City donated their property for training and burning. For several weeks throughout the month, all three units, along with personnel from the Scioto Township and Pleasant Township Fire Departments, practiced search and rescue operations, hose deployment, hose operations, and other basic training maneuvers. Captain Dan Ashcraft said the department was grateful to the family for donating their home for training as it helps their personnel, particularly the more inexperienced firefighters, work on skills needed when serving the community. Shown in this photo are firefighters awaiting the call to enter the building on Oct. 28. The structure was burned down the following day.
