May 24, 2005 - At 1700 hours, members from Company 7 and 3 took part in live fire training exercises in a donated structure on St. Leonard Road.  Members drilled on numerous topics including fire behavior as well as everyday hose line evolutions.  Members drilled on the block house for approximately 2 1/2 hours before letting the house go up in flames.  Due to the house being visible from Route 4 and all the fire department apparatus being on St. Leonard Road, the Calvert Control Center received 193 - 911 calls on the fire.
