Swamp Fox firefighters re-qualify on aircraft fire simulator. HD Video by Master Sgt. Carl Clegg | 169th Fighter Wing Public Affairs | 09.17.2017 -- U.S. Air Force firefighters, assigned to the 169th Civil Engineer Squadron, South Carolina Air National Guard, complete an annual aircraft fire qualification with the 20th Civil Engineer Squadron at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., September 16, 2017. Scenarios require the firefighters to approach the blaze in different ways including going inside the aircraft structure wearing protective gear. In order to remain current on their certification, the firefighters must train both manual and vehicle mounted hoses on the aircraft simulator, which is set ablaze using a propane accelerant. The firefighting vehicles in the video are the P-19 Stryker, Structural Pumper and a rapid intervention vehicle. (U.S. Air National Guard video by Master Sgt. Carl Clegg/Released.)
