Firefighters Spend Weekend Training in Moundsville
MOUNDSVILLE -- Dozens of area firefighters got some vital training in a unique setting.
This was all part of the annual Marshall County Fire School held Saturday and Sunday.

Ladder trucks were used to hoist firemen into the windows of the old West Virginia Penitentiary.

A variety of scenarios were played out.

A fire captain from Harrison County, West Virginia, called it an excellent location to train.

"I guess homeland security uses this for police riot training. They have facilities upstairs. There's a room you can use. You can do anything scenario-wise," said Captain Rodney Strait of the Bridgeport, WV, Fire Department.

Firefighters from Washington Lands, Moundsville and McMechen were among the firefighters taking part.
