SYLVANIA - Propelling off a four-story building and withstanding temperatures of 1,800 degrees are just two exercises Sylvania's new fire training facility has to offer. The state-of-the-art center, the only one of its kind in the region, also is available to serve the training needs of fire departments in surrounding counties. The Sylvania Fire Department celebrated with an open house and touring for the public last week, after an 11-month construction job that the firefighters tackled themselves.
