Around 15 members of the Lake Henry Fire Department conducted practice drills at the former St. Anthony Catholic Church in Regal on Saturday, May 6. Also participating were members of the Belgrade and Paynesville fire departments.

The firefighters conducted a series of drills in the church, including search and rescue and starting small fires and extinguishing them. Finally, in the early afternoon, they set the church - which closed last summer after 72 years - ablaze.
