Wednesday's public fire demonstration at the Brayton Fire Training Field received 2,000 spectators, said Texas Engineering Extension Service communications director Jay Socol. "This is something the instructors look forward to, and the community looks forward to," he said. Around 100 firefighters in training tested their skills on seven industrial fire props, Socol said. "The props simulated petrochemical plants like oil and gas refiners."
