Firefighters earn bragging rights

WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. - - Staff Sgt. Derrick Allen opens the fire hydrant while doing circuit training to keep his skills sharp Nov. 30. The Whiteman AFB team of Allen, Vanden Haak, Airman 1st Class Anthony Beaudry, Master Sgt. Mark Belton, and Christopher Finkes earned the silver medal this year at the world firefighter competition at Myrtle Beach, S.C. The challenge requires maximum effort in minimal time as it simulates the exertion needed to fight a fire and rescue a victim on a timed course. Allen is a fire protection specialist assigned to the 509th Civil Engineer Squadron, Fire Protection Flight. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Laura Goodgame)
