Caption Only: Unlikely Firefighting Technique

Jamon Carver, 13, throws snowballs at a house fire during a firefighting exercise for the North View Fire Department in Pleasant View, Weber County, Saturday. Firefighters set the blaze by lighting several old Christmas trees inside the house. The crews conducted several drills inside, then retreated outside to make sure the fire hadn’t spread. Onlookers said the house had been vacant for several years and was purchased by a land developer to make room for a new road.
