The Shoreline Water District building the fire department was using for training has been demolished (see previous story) so it is their good fortune to have another commercial building available almost immediately.

Merlone Geier, owners of Shoreline Place, are allowing fire departments to train in the old - and very large - Sears building at N 155th and Aurora.

Shoreline Fire is training with departments from all over King County - Shoreline, Bothell, North Shore, Mercer Island, Kirkland, East Side and Redmond.

It's a great chance to train with the new ladder truck.

They will conducting training in and around the building all this month, staging different types of drills.
