I heard we had a fire in Miles City today or yesterday. Is this true? I hope not.

Its true.. Somewhere between Stower and Comstock. I know that when i drove past this evening it was down to the ground.. Not sure what happened or started it.

It was a training for the Fire Dept.

It was set on fire on purpose as a training session for the fire fighters. Someone donated their home for the training. I don't know the circumstances as to why they would do that with their home, rather than sell it. I don't know who owned it.

it was alot of fun. glad they donated it for our use and training. i know everyone at the fire dept got alot of valuable training from it.

Was it by any chance Kubik's salmon colored house? It's sat empty for so many years.

No Kacey not Kubic's house. Does anyone know what the Kubic
family is doing with the abandoned home?

It was donated to the fire department for training purposes. I guess, the house was pretty much in need of repairs in various aspects that it was more financially feasible to tear it down and build something new. In this case, tearing it down went to donating it.

I saw the Star photographer there so the full story and pics most likely will in the paper come Monday. Here is some pics to hold you till then:

thank you for sharing the pictures.. they are great.

As being an ex NY firefighter, it was an excellant tool for the fire department personnel to use to hone and develope skills in the unselfish endeavor of risking their lives for others.
Kudos for the owners!!!!

Can you post the address? I'm having a hard time placing it.

Miles City Fire Rescue with members of CCRVFD conducted a live fire training drill at 704 South Stacy.

The house was donated by John and Raelee Hollowell. For the past two months MCFR has been using the house for fire ground support operation trainings and interior rescue training.

Thank you so much to the Hollowell family for providing the emergency responders of the community with such a rare and valuable training opportunity!

Is the lot for sale?

Steve was over there from 7 a.m. until noon! He had a great and informative time.

Was Bobby Kenny there?

Front and Center!

I thought I saw him in some of the photos I received. He loves a good fire.

They should have let him start it.

Looks like my old childhood friend Louie Watts' old house.

Google Streetview doesn't cover much of MC so I can't quite place the address in my memory.
