GREENSBORO, N.C. — Greensboro firefighters are one step closer to having a new training facility.

Demolition of the old five-story drill tower on North Church street started Monday in Greensboro. It's been used to train firefighters for more than 60 years.

Thanks to bond money, the drill tower will be replaced with a new facility that will offer more technical and realistic training. It's scheduled to open next spring.
