First Responders Use Flood-Damaged Homes For Training Exercises
EL PASO, TX. – City officials and firefighters find a new use for several homes in Central El paso, condemned after Storm 2006.
Firefighters will conduct training excercises at 6 of 10 homes condemned in the Saipan area – those homes are now city-owned.
