Before demolition takes place at Wilson Elementary School and McKinley Elementary School, the facilities will be home to one last educational session.

During the week of October 11, the Middletown Fire Department will use the abandoned facilities to train the City’s 87 firefighters.  Activities will include search and rescue, hose line advancement, forcible entry, as well as other advanced firefighting skills. 

Once the training is completed, all remaining items sold in the August auctions, including exterior doors and windows, will be removed.  The Fire Department has assured the district that their training activities would not be destructive to any of these items in the building.
