Balls of fire
Arnold Engineering Development Center Firefighter and Crew Chief Charlie Armstrong examines a ceramic ball, one of thousands from a catalytic butane burner that was used to provide heat for conditioned air in the Aeropropulsion Testing Unit, a blow-down ground testing facility on base. An explosion at the facility propelled the white-hot ceramic spheres into the nearby woods, catching the trees on fire. This was another accident that Armstrong and his colleagues responded to, putting the fire out and mitigating the damage to an expensive facility. (Photo by David Housch)
