See Smoke at Harding Blvd/Estates Drive? It's Just Fire Training

If you smell or see smoke coming from Harding Boulevard and Estates Drive in Roseville within the next 10 days, don't be alarmed. It's part of the Roseville Fire Department's training exercises they're conducting through Oct. 22.

Training will be conducted in the buildings of the former Mountain Mike's Pizza and Firestone store near the corner of Estates Drive and Harding Boulevard.

"This is a unique and invaluable opportunity to train our firefighters in a commercial structure," said Assistant Fire Chief Jeff Carman, in a news release.

The public can expect to see several fire apparatus, smoke, and firefighters working on the roofs of these buildings.  The fire department will not set any fires as part of the training.

The buildings are owned by AutoZone, which has given the Roseville Fire Department permission to do the training.  

"We look forward to being an integral part of your community for years to come and are glad we can accommodate," said AutoZone's Mitch Bramlitt in a news release.  

AutoZone plans to raze the buildings after the training is complete and build a store in that location.

If you have concerns or questions about the fire training, call the Roseville Fire Department's administrative offices at 916-774-5800.  Please do not call 911 with these questions.
