From left, Tripp Edwards, Simon Bradford and Bob Dunkle, all three volunteer firefighters at the Tunbridge Fire Department, prepare to fight the flames engulfing a building during a controlled burn exercise in Tunbridge, Vt., on Saturday, May 30, 2009. The owners of the house, Michele and David Bigelow, donated the structure for the exercise, as they planned to remove it anyway after they bought the property in December, 2008. “We’re recycling it,” Michele Bigelow said as she watched the house burn down.
