Late Saturday morning, firefighters from the High Point (Harvey Cedars), Surf City and Barnegat Light volunteer companies converged on a house on Laguna Drive in the Loveladies section of Long Beach Township.

“The house had recently been sold and the new owner was going to tear it down,” said Craig Coddington, president and lieutenant of the High Point company. “We had asked the new homeowner if we could use it for our drills, and he said we could.”
He said approximately 25 firefighters participated in the Feb. 13 drill.
