Squadron firefighter, climbs onto the wing of a KC-135 Stratotanker in order to
put out an on-board simulated fire on Kadena Air Base, Japan, April 21, 2015.
The scenario, which involved firefighters responding to reports of smoke coming
from an aircraft’s cockpit, was held in support of the base’s mission focused
exercise, and was designed to test their response time and knowledge of
procedures. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Zade C. Vadnais)
