Burn it down. With some professional help. Brothers of Derita #715 in Charlotte last month got a real chance to pay their community back with a very big gift to the Charlotte Fire Department Training Academy. e lodge donated an old house on land they have bought for a new lodge. e gift wasn't an easy give-away. Before they could hand it over, the lodge had to obtain air quality and demolition permits, regrade the driveways and trim overhanging branches for the fire trucks and construct parking areas for the CFD support vehicles. All work was done by Derita brothers. And the giving opportunity didn't stop there. Cabinets and counters and fixtures from the house were donated to Habitat for Humanity. e house was used by the CFD Academy to train recruits in breaching doors, walls and ceilings, as well as venting roofs. e training culminated in a gradu- ation exercise – the controlled burn of the house. e exercise is the perfect way to train recruits under conditions of a live fire. On the day of the controlled burn, brothers were on site to hand out water, beverages and energy bars to the recruits and firefighter instructors. ere is still much work to do including removing the debris, backfilling the crawl space void, and regrading and landscaping the site. "is is a large project but giving back to our community and supporting the future of our fire department is well worth the effort," said Derita Master Don Wallace.
