District Chief of the Gainesville Fire-Rescue, Mike Steele said, "this is their final training burn so we run them through a pretty vigorous six-week training process.” Although it wasn't a real situation, the heat was definitely turned up. “The training evolution's we have done here today are certainly challenging both physically and mentally," said Firefighter Elliot Tobin.
