A1C Uceta: Typically what we do is we have two crews we have the reg team
which stays outside. And the fire attack crew which goes inside the aircraft
itself. When we're going inside we're focused on everything from the fog
pattern or the stream pattern. Making sure you're attacking everything
you're supposed to attack. One important key is to make sure the hose itself
isn't kinked up and doing what it's supposed to do and that's actually being
held apart by the crew itself. So communication is key.
Aircraft burns are one of the many types of training Minot firefighters are
required to complete. Their training is necessary to ensure readiness for
everything from brush fires to burning rocket fuel and hazardous material
fires. Reporting from Minot Air Force Base I'm A-1-C Izabella Sullivan.
