Yankton Firefighters watch as flames vent from the attic of a house that was intentionally burned by the fire department. |
The flames reach high above the roof, lighting up the October night sky. |
Fire consumes every corner of the house and the roof begins to weaken. |

|
The silhouettes of two firefighters are seen against the flames as a hose line cools down the area around the house. |
The flames grow larger, fed by the fuel of the old wooden structure. |
The kids get a front row seat and firefighter equipment to watch the burn. |
