Firefighters from the Century and McDavid stations of Escambia Fire Rescue took to the woods Saturday for a live lesson in fighting and controlling brush fires. The training is part of the firefighter certification process.

The live burn exercise was conducted on a 40 acre parcel on North Highway 99 in Oak Grove.
