    Fleming fire training

    The Ann Arbor Fire Department used the vacant Fleming Administration Building for a series of training sessions March 3-5. The department practiced techniques for fighting fires in high-rise structures where firefighters have to access a building’s internal fire-suppression systems, driver-operator Bryce McAlister said.
