VIDEO: Inside 'Firefighter's Funhouse,' a mobile training unit

FAIRHOPE, Ala. -- Volunteer firefighters passed through flaming rooms as they doused walls, ceilings and a fire-engulfed stove with their water hoses. Then the tired, sweating men and women got in line to do it all over again. Last week, the Alabama Fire College brought to Fairhope a 53-foot-long trailer that serves as a mobile training facility. Within the trailer are moveable metal walls and doors that provide dozens of firefighting scenarios. Volunteer firefighters from the surrounding counties were invited to the free training in Fairhope, and dozens attended sessions Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

18-year-old charged in north side slaying

Saturday, November 07, 2009

Staff Reporter

An 18-year-old Mobile man was arrested Friday and charged with murder, three weeks after the fatal shooting of Anthony Encarnacion on Mobile's north side.

Police said that they took Shawn Taylor into custody Friday afternoon after he was spotted at Martin Luther King Jr. and Lexington avenues, just blocks from where Encarnacion was found Oct. 17 suffering from two gunshot wounds.

Taylor was booked into Mobile County Metro Jail, and was being held there Friday evening without bail.
