A 932nd Airlift Wing firefighter looks toward a "burning" simulation during recent training.
The Air Force Reservists constantly practice to stay ready. Here, a firefighter gets his fire retardant suit on as he prepares to enter simulated smoke during a recent drill.
This is designed to teach firefighters to understand how their field of vision and awareness of surroundings is affected by thick smoke. Heat can be a problem especially when wearing the heavy gear.
