I came across this burn down by the Crown Point (IN) Fire Department the other night (9-29-14) as I was driving along I65. It didn’t take me long to get to the site from the highway, but the structure had already collapsed. Nonetheless, I couldn’t pass a building on fire without stopping to take some photos.

They had just completed three days of training scenarios in this house.
