It is my understanding that they actually purchased a couple of houses and burned them. It sure did look like those houses were on fire, didn't it?

I do know that one house was purchased in order to crash a tank into it.

Remember that scene where there were six cops sitting around a dining room table? We'll 4 of them were local guys. The crew went around and asked locals to try on the uniforms to see it they fit. If they did, they got the part in the move.
