LAKEVILLE — A residential structure under construction was transformed into a training site for the Lakeville Fire Department.
Lakeville firefighters recently used the site to train on victim search and firefighter rescue skills.
Firefighters spent four hours rotating through three skills stations, working on what the department described as mission-essential operations.
Fire Chief Michael O'Brien thanked the officers and firefighters who made this drill possible. Mohamad Ojjeh offered a property being built for the Lakeville Fire Department training event.
