Students in Georgia Trade School CWI Scott McKneely’s class used scrap materials and fabricated metal chairs, coffee table and bed prop. The Cobb Fire Department will use this furniture in their burn building while conducting live fire burns. Previously Cobb Fire had used combustible furniture which had to be removed from the burn building during live fires to stay compliant with latest standards. This allows the Cobb Fire Department to add more realism when training firefighters to rescue victims trapped in a fire and extinguishing fires.
