An old, abandoned school. It has a full basement. There’s holes in the floors. There’s trip hazards between trash and furniture that gets drug in to here," Trojack said. "There’s dogs that live in that our people have had to deal with. Not only when they come in on fires but for EMS calls."The dangerous debris include a bicycle, trash, old furniture, clothing, shoes and even a tire.
