Fire fighters exercise real world tactics
Firefighters from the 509th Civil Engineer Squadron practice entering a simulated burning house during an exercise at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., June 7, 2013. The fire services mission is to prevent fires; minimize injuries and loss of lives; protect property and the environment during periods of peace, war, military operations other than war; and provide humanitarian support operations for those charged in their care.
