The Westport and Wilton Fire Departments today participated in a “live burn” exercise in demolishing a house at 76 Clapboard Hill Road. The 1947-built house containing 2,846 square feet and sitting on a 4.44-acre property sold in May for $2.3 million. It was the WestportNow Teardown of the Day on July 28, 2007.

Practice makes perfect. It’s worth the smoke.
The Westport FD seems to have a peculiar zeal for these burns…are they all that necessary? And don’t they release terrible pollutants into the environment?
Yes, no doubt training burns are beneficial to our firefighters – who are all good blokes, highly appreciated for what they do. It’s the sight of old structures being burned down and bull dozed in this town that has become tiresome, that’s all, the thought of those tasteless, outsized clown castles that replace them summed up in John Love’s remark of 8/3: “the basic concept of this town has been destroyed.” Ire misdirected.
