Maximizing Training Evolutions in an Acquired Structure

摘要

This article discusses training options for an acquired structure that will be ultimately torn down. Live-training is the final evolution. We used this structure for hands-on training (H.O.T.) drills and planned to burn it within the next few months. Unfortunately, however, asbestos was found in the subflooring, and the owner had the structure torn down. In our area, the owner is responsible for removing or abating toxic substances before a structure can be demolished. The contractor used a method called "wet demolition" in which the structure is wet down with a hose during the demolition process to keep any asbestos from leaving the area. The debris is then disposed of in an approved dump site.
