Oak Ridge firefighters trained in a controlled burn in a home on Waddell Place on Friday.
It’s the second house that firefighters have burned on Waddell Place this year. The first, which was burned in January, was the first that the Oak Ridge Fire Department has burned for training.
The city has one more blighted city-owned home that it could burn on Waddell Place.
The fires require state approval, and they help the city by training firefighters and burning materials that would otherwise have to be demolished and hauled away.
More information will be added as it becomes available.
