Vacaville firefighter/engineer Dave Rogers adjusts his breathing apparatus before entering a vacant home on Cordelia Rd in Fairfield, California.
Rogers was taking part in a countywide training exercise on Wednesday, April 23, 2008. The house, located on property owned by Anheuser-Busch, used to the residence of Carol Marini, who was forced to leave last year after the land was sold to a private developer. Marini however did not go without a fight.
