The Everett Fire Department went off with a whoosh yesterday afternoon before a large group of spectators. A house at 1616 Walnut St., converted from a barn in the early 1900s, was donated to the department for training use by the Erickson brothers, Joe, Rosie and Phil, who grew up next door to the frame structure. Chief Earl Brower said his men made an excellent showing during the training session.
