Firefighters knew the drill at old Ogg Hall

Madison firefighters not only trained for fighting fires like the one that briefly flared at the top of the old Ogg Hall Friday morning, you could say they prepared for this very fire.

Slated for demolition, the 42-year-old student dormitory was used this past summer by UW-Madison Police and the Madison Fire Department to practice responding to emergencies in high-rise buildings.
