Martin Dental Donates House For Live Burn Training

As seen on WEAU 13 News and WQOW News 18:

Imagine being trapped in a burning house with heat and smoke all around you. But then you hear the sirens and firefighters burst in and save you and your family’s lives. That’s why live burn training is so important. And that’s why Dr. Tony and Jessica Martin decided to donate the home on the property where they are building their new dental office for some extreme training.

“We know this training prepares these firefighters for a critical job that could one day mean lives saved. That’s why we decided to donate this house,” Jessica Martin said.

On May 30, the Altoona Fire department will hold a live burn training at the new site for Martin Dental at 911 N. Hillcrest Parkway, Altoona. The home was scheduled to be taken down to make way for the new dental clinic, but Dr. Tony Martin and his wife had the idea to donate it to a better cause.

“We are very grateful for the donation from Martin Dental. It allows our team to train in a real home, providing invaluable experience to be prepared to serve our community,” said Altoona Fire Chief Mark Renderman.

Prior to the burn training, Habitat for Humanity went through the home to gather any materials that could be salvaged and used to raise funds for the organization. This also helps keep old construction materials out of our landfills.

“We are so grateful to live and work in the Chippewa Valley, we wanted to find a way to give back. When we learned of the opportunities to partner with local organizations, it seemed like a great fit,” said Jessica Martin.

Groundbreaking for the new Martin Dental office is set for early June with a completion date of early November.

Martin Dental was founded in 2010 as a general and cosmetic dental office in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Dr. Tony Martin offers a full array of dental services including dental exams, dental implants, root canals, and other dental services to help patients maintain healthy teeth. Martin Dental is also the Chippewa Valley’s first and only dental spa, which means every visit includes the option to select any of their complimentary spa amenities to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during each visit.
