Firefighters from all three Wellesley Township (ON) stations participated in a house burn June 8, 2019 on Lobsinger Line. The house was owned by a Linwood firefighter who had purchased the farm and is building a new home on property. Firefighters had a good day to use their new Smeal tower which had been picked up the day before. The property had a pond approximately 800 feet from the house.

St Clements pumper set up at the pond to feed the Wellesley pumper and tower. The clear cool day had an east wind which was unusual for the area. The normal wind comes out of the west. Firefighters rotated going up in the bucket and running the new quint. Crews were very happy with the new truck.

Cambridge Ontario firefighters had a live burn on January 28, 2015. Fifteen firefighters were on scene at an older one and a half story home in a rural section of the city. Three separate fires were set in the house to train on suppression and positive pressure ventilation. The house was burned down later in the day. The owner of the property wanted the small garage so firefighters foamed the building to keep it from igniting.
