932nd Airlift Wing firefighters answer the call

932nd Airlift Wing firefighters constantly practice to stay ready. Here, a firefighter listens to instructions over his radio. He also 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. 932nd Airlift Wing firefighters constantly practice to stay ready. Interested in the Air Force Reserve Command firefighting program?
