In order to get the full effect in training for a fire, two nontoxic smoke bombs are placed in the building. The smoke bombs are not dangerous, but will irritate the eyes and the respiratory system if there is a leak in the firemens air hose. White said.

The men will train with 60 pounds of equipment strapped to their backs, as well as wear the suits made out of the material, Wig- The fire department has been practicing different types of drills for the past four weeks at the Lagoon Amusement Park, to prepare themselves for any emergency that might arise. The reason behind practicing at Lagoon is not because it is a fire hazard, but because it has so much to offer in our training drills," said Ron Nelson. Nelson is the Farmington City Fire Department chief. For example, last week we went through Draculas Castle, and set it up for practice as a house fire, Nelson said. The haunted houses at Lagoon are great for practice, because they are a maze of corridors, he said. This type of training gives the men a feel for what they will have to put up with in an by said.!

The mobile home park would have been located east of Hill Air Force Base at 800 E. and 3400 N., near the bum 106-spa- ce plant. Preliminary plans for the park were first proposed to the city planning commission in 1979 by developer Terry Smedley. The commission set several requirements that had to be met before a final okay would be giv- - Last February, the developer came before the City Council with the proposal. He was granted a year to complete the remaining conditions set by the planning commission. Smedley appeared again before the council last week and requested the project be granted final approval, before the deadline expired. The land has been rezoned since 1979. But grandfathering, a zoning term, would have made it possible for Smedley to follow the former zoning requirements.

We also have one engineer and one officer ride up front, he said. Upon completion of the operation, the men will go back to their homes and the smoke will dissipate. But the experience gained from the training will remain. Its important to drill, so the men are not shocked when coming upon a fire, Wigby said. r- 'i- ' m.
