South Texas' 2nd ranked junior golfer Diego Ibarra keeps creeping up on Comfort's Cooper New with a 300 point 2nd place finish at Fair Oaks Ranch Golf & Country Club at Live Oak in San Antonio on Monday, his seventh Top 5 finish and sixth Top 3 finish of the 2017 Junior Tour.
The Eagle Pass Fire Department will be conducting a special training in which they will be setting a house on fire.
The training will take place Saturday, July 22, at a house near the old water filtration plant downtown.
Fire Chief Manuel Mello is advising the community of the procedure so that they are not alarmed when they see the live fire training which will begin at 3:00 p.m.
“We’re going to be igniting one of the houses, and when we do that there’s going to be a plume of smoke and people are going to want to find out what’s going on,” said Chief Mello. “There’s going to be a lot of onlookers; all we can say is to be careful and not to cross the barricades where we’re working because people may get hurt.”
Chief Mello said the opportunity to create a live burn for training purposes is very rare.
“One [reason] is because too close in the city there’s residences that are occupied,” he said. “In this scenario there’s nobody living right next door to those houses, so it’ll be a perfect way for us to train.”
The training will allow department staff to practice ventilation purposes, strategic placement of hoses, and fire behavior.
Eagle Pass Fire Department personnel, volunteer firefighters, and even firefighters from Piedras Negras will be present at the training.
“It’s something that we’re really looking forward to,” said Chief Mello.

El Departamento de Bomberos de Eagle Pass llevará a cabo una capacitación especial en la que prenderán fuego a una casa
La capacitación tendrá lugar el sábado, 22 de julio, en una casa cerca de la antigua planta de filtración de agua del centro.
El Jefe de Bomberos Manuel Mello está aconsejando a la comunidad del procedimiento para que no se alarmen cuando vean el entrenamiento de fuego que comenzará a las 3:00 p.m.
"Vamos a prenderle fuego a una de las casas, y cuando hagamos eso va a haber humo y la gente va a querer saber lo que está pasando", dijo el jefe Mello. "Habrá muchos espectadores; Todo lo que podemos decir es que tienen que tener cuidado y no cruzar las barricadas donde estamos trabajando porque la gente puede resultar herida ".
El Jefe Mello dijo que la oportunidad de crear una incendio de una casa en vivo para propósitos de entrenamiento es muy rara, y permitirá al personal del departamento practicar ventilación, colocación estratégica de mangueras y comportamiento del fuego.
"Una [razón] es porque demasiado cerca en la ciudad hay residencias que están ocupadas", dijo. "En este escenario no hay nadie viviendo justo al lado de esas casas por lo que será una manera perfecta para entrenar".
Personal del Departamento de Bomberos de Eagle Pass, bomberos voluntarios e incluso bomberos de Piedras Negras estarán presentes en el entrenamiento.
"Es algo que realmente estamos deseando hacer ", dijo el Jefe Mello.
