You see, the house was abandoned and Covina firemen were systematically hurniiiK it down on purpose in a practice drill. Many people who saw the Burning house thought it was the real thing. £IZZLING of the Covina Grammar School watch with excitement as the Covina Fire Department burned down an abandoned house adjoining the school grounds last Friday in a practice drill. Students got a live demonstration on the power and danger of. fire and a few pointers on putting fires out.

PROTECTIVE firemen shoot a protective spray on trees to keep them from burning as part of their problem in the art of firefighting which they got a chance to exercise last week when they burned down an empty house for practical experience. Covina's firefighters handled their problem well and prevented the trees from getting scorched. The drill provided a fitting climax to Fire Prevention Week. Photo by June Belts..
