WYOMING, Mich. (WZZM)- The former General Motors stamping plant in Wyoming has become a training ground this week for the city's fire department. 

Firefighters took part in a training session Monday night inside the former GM plant.  Fire officials say the facility gives them a perfect opportunity for some more realistic exercises.  Monday night's training centered around saving trapped firefighters.

Wyoming Fire Department Chief Robert Austin said, "Something we don't really want to deal with, but something we want to train in so that if it does happen, we're set and we know what we're doing.

Chief Austin says they will hold another training exercise in the former GM plant Tuesday night.  He says the department plans to use the facility until they are kicked out..

WYOMING, Mich. (WZZM) - Many Michigan communities are struggling to bring in new business. That is not the case however in one part of Wyoming. It is actually growing.

At a job fair Monday in Wyoming, lines are long and hopes are high to get one of 200 positions at the new YMCA.

Applicant Nicholas Gagnon says, "I just got laid off, now I'm just looking for something to pay the rent."

YMCA's Executive Director Bev Thiel says, "We determined this area was large not only for families and singles, but businesses and organizations."

The YMCA is just one of the businesses coming to Wyoming. Gordon Food Services is also moving earth in Wyoming-- adding jobs-- and more tax money.

Curtis Holt, Wyoming's City Manager says Gordon Food Services could add $100,000 to $150,000 to the city.

Unlike many Michigan communities, Holt says industrial development in Wyoming is booming.
