I may be throwing this in too late. If Fire departments in Michigan can do live structure training, they'll be glad to get it.
If I had your situation I would try to locate a local VOLUNTEER fire department. Some paid departments have more strictures on training.
The reason for this: a lot of volunteer and some paid municipal departments use old structures for training purposes.
I know of one older house a local department set on fire 3 times for training before completly destroying it.
1st fire was like an early report house fire with heavy smoke damage on to the last which had the house fully involved.
The main use for flammbles is to start or spread flame. Local fire marshals and arson investigators can also use it for study purposes in their own training.
The biggest problem is likely the benzene content. Benzene is nasty and a little goes a long ways. In more rural areas, FD's are usually happy to help you get rid of it and to avoid having to come to your place to put out a fire. Pouring gas out anywhere can and will get in groundwater somewhere and is super expensive to clean up the soil. You don't want to be paying for your own superfund hazardous waste clean-up.
