LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – “We’re gonna set a house on fire Friday morning, and we’ll use it as a training session,” said La Follette Fire Chief Jimmy Pack.

The house that sits at 137 High Street will be used as a teaching tool beginning at 10 am this morning. “This will be a really good chance to get our younger firefighters some training,” Pack added.

The chief expects the process to take quite a while. Firefighters will train, and everyone will go through several drills before they actually set the house ablaze. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 04/02/2021-6AM)
