Burning down the house

Even firefighters can be mesmerized by a roaring fire. Training done, these men paused to watch
the old corner ranch house reduced to embers.

Every time we come home, we pass a house at the intersection of County Roads 78 and 79, but no more. The Shakopee Fire Department, after practicing there for weeks, finally burned it down during their weekly Saturday morning training exercise. We're not sure what happens next at this busy corner, some say the school is going to put in some athletic fields. But that's just hearsay, something you'll never see here.
