Hi,
The column on the left is actually created with a background image that repeats vertically giving the column effect.
You would need to create a new template based on the theme you have downloaded and apply this to the Fireboard section of your site.
The content area also has a fixed width so you would need to modify this in the CSS.
I would duplicate the template folder - then in the duplicate change the name of the template in templateDetails.xml to fireboard-theme or something similar.
Then you would need to open body.png in an image editor and replace the grey area on the left with white {not the 1 pixel grey border on far left} save your new image into your duplicate template images folder as body.png to replace the old one.
open your duplicate templates index.php and remove the left <div> entries:
<div id="left">
<?php mosLoadModules('user1', -2); ?>
<div id="leftInner">
<?php mosLoadModules ( 'left', -2 ); ?>
</div>
</div>
Then open layout.css and change the #content width to something like 830px - you can tweak this later to get the width right - you are basically adding the width and padding values that have been removed from the left column so that #content takes up the full screen width.
Upload your template to your sites templates directory - go into your joomla admin - site menu > template manager and "apply" the template to your fireboard menu.
Voila!
If all of this seems like to much work we do custom template development - this modification is probably an hours work.
