Creech AFB Fire Department 🟢⚠️
Today our crews conducted a rigorous hazmat training exercise to maintain proficiency and ensure readiness for any real-world incident. The team focused on cylinder handling, leak mitigation, and decontamination procedures — sharpening critical skills under realistic conditions.
All GS-7 and above personnel are required to maintain certifications in Hazmat Technician, Operations, and Awareness levels in accordance with NFPA standards.
Proud of our firefighters for their dedication to excellence and mission readiness! 💪

Creech AFB Fire Department training for the future! 🔥🧯
Today, three of our dedicated firefighters headed out TDY to the DFW Airport Training Center to get hands-on with the new Fluorine-Free Foam (F3) now replacing traditional AFFF across the Air Force.
This transition is a big step forward for protecting our people and the environment. AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) has been the gold standard for fighting flammable liquid fires thanks to its unique ability to form a thin aqueous film on top of fuel surfaces. That film creates a powerful v***r barrier, helping suppress the fire faster and prevent re-ignition even as the foam blanket breaks down. 
Why the switch to F3?
AFFF contains PFAS (“forever chemicals”) linked to environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential health risks. F3 eliminates those fluorinated compounds entirely — it’s more biodegradable, doesn’t persist in the environment or the human body, and supports the DoD’s push to remove PFAS from firefighting operations while safeguarding firefighter health and local ecosystems. 
The challenge? F3 doesn’t form that same protective film, so it relies more heavily on a strong, consistent foam blanket to smother the fire and suppress v***rs. This often means different application techniques, potentially higher volumes or flow rates, adjusted nozzles/pressures, and precise training to match AFFF’s performance. 
Our team is stepping up to master these new methods so we’re always ready to protect the mission at Creech.

In this video, Captain Gajonera and Captain Favela break down the critical importance of flashover training and how our new flashover trainer is taking Creech AFB Fire Department readiness to the next level.
From understanding the science of fire behavior to giving our crews the confidence and skills to recognize, react, and survive one of the most dangerous moments on the fireground — this is hands-on training that makes the difference.
At Creech AFB FD, we train like our lives depend on it… because they do. 💪

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Andrew Anderson—a devoted husband, proud combat veteran of the United States Air Force, dedicated firefighter, and loving father who was taken from us far too soon.
Andrew spent his life in service to others, first in the military and then as a firefighter protecting his community. He was known for his kindness, strong work ethic, and the deep love he had for his wife Stephanie and their three young children: Hazel (8), Emma (3), and Miles (1). He was the sole provider for his family, and his absence has left an unimaginable void.
Stephanie now faces not only devastating grief but also the sudden financial burden of raising their children alone. Funds are needed for funeral costs, daily living expenses, and ongoing care for the kids.
If you’re able, please consider donating to support this family through this difficult time. Every contribution helps, no matter the size. If you can’t give, sharing this post means the world.
Let’s come together to honor Andrew by lifting up the family he loved so deeply. ❤️

Thank you for keeping Andrew’s family in your thoughts and prayers. 🕊️
