00:00:03,410 --> 00:00:05,960
AEC senior leadership recently joined 

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,682
the Arnold Air Force Base Fire 

4
00:00:07,682 --> 00:00:09,682
Department in their annual aircraft 

5
00:00:09,682 --> 00:00:11,738
live fire training . What we do here 

6
00:00:11,738 --> 00:00:13,682
every day doesn't come without its 

7
00:00:13,682 --> 00:00:15,849
risks . Having first responders behind 

8
00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:18,071
us every single day ready to respond in 

9
00:00:18,071 --> 00:00:20,293
case something goes wrong is absolutely 

10
00:00:20,293 --> 00:00:22,182
imperative . This training allows 

11
00:00:22,182 --> 00:00:22,010
firefighters to work on technique and 

12
00:00:22,010 --> 00:00:24,239
hone skills that they do not have the 

13
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,350
opportunity to use on a daily basis . 

14
00:00:26,350 --> 00:00:28,350
This training that they do out here 

15
00:00:28,350 --> 00:00:30,350
makes sure that they're ready to go 

16
00:00:30,350 --> 00:00:32,461
every single day , and we can test in 

17
00:00:32,461 --> 00:00:34,739
confidence that we know that our first . 

18
00:00:34,739 --> 00:00:36,739
back with this training , the first 

19
00:00:36,739 --> 00:00:38,961
responders on base know that the senior 

20
00:00:38,961 --> 00:00:40,961
leadership has a vested interest in 

21
00:00:40,961 --> 00:00:43,017
understanding their mission and what 

22
00:00:43,017 --> 00:00:45,017
they do . I didn't realize just how 

23
00:00:45,017 --> 00:00:47,239
much physically demanding it would be , 

24
00:00:47,239 --> 00:00:49,461
right ? The pressure on the hose wasn't 

25
00:00:49,461 --> 00:00:51,683
as much as I expected , but between the 

26
00:00:51,683 --> 00:00:53,295
weight of the bottle and the 

27
00:00:53,295 --> 00:00:55,406
limitations to being able to move and 

28
00:00:55,406 --> 00:00:55,220
everything , gives me a new 

29
00:00:55,220 --> 00:00:58,099
appreciation for it . Wow , that was a 

30
00:00:58,099 --> 00:01:00,099
pretty intense experience . Getting 

31
00:01:00,099 --> 00:01:02,321
inside of a burning airplane is not for 

32
00:01:02,321 --> 00:01:03,090
the faint of heart .
