Whether battling brush fires or responding to burning fuel on the flight line, they step into the heat when seconds matter most.
What they do:

In an era of persistent kinetic threats, Fire Protection specialists are the first line of defense in damage control and base recovery. As adversaries target our installations with missiles and drones, these experts ensure we can absorb an attack, extinguish the flames, and get back in the fight faster than the enemy can strike again. They don't just protect infrastructure; they preserve combat power and guarantee our ability to project airpower under fire.
