Training sand box fires become forest rescue classroom
California State Division of Forestry centers use a sand box at Central Sierra Training Center near Sutter Creek to teach veterans and new firefighters.

A blower creates wind as trainees maneuver toy equipment and burnable models in recreated canyons and hills.
