Washougal High School career and technical education construction technology students built two prop rooms for a fire safety demonstration by the Camas-Washougal Fire Department (CWFD) last month.

Fire department employees set both prop rooms ablaze to demonstrate the effectiveness of residential sprinklers at the department’s Health & Safety Fair Open House on Saturday, Sept. 23. More than 2,500 spectators attended the open house, according to a news release.
