Firefighters assigned to the 86th Civil Engineer Squadron run the fire truck’s water hose to the simulated aircraft crash site during a major accident response exercise at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Sept. 1, 2020. Putting out fires resulting from an aircraft crash is a top priority as it allows firefighters to quickly move into the site before looking for remaining survivors. This MARE was part of Operation Varsity, a larger exercise which tests the base personnel’s readiness and ability to respond to any situation. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Kristof J.

A firefighter from the 86th Civil Engineer Squadron directs water onto the simulated aircraft crash site during a major accident response exercise at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Sept. 1, 2020. In an exercise environment, firefighters on Ramstein must show capability of the water hose before using it on the simulated aircraft crash. In this case, capability means to demonstrate to Wing Inspection Team members the water hose has sufficient water pressure before being used on the simulated aircraft crash. This MARE was part of Operation Varsity, a larger exercise which tests the base personnel’s readiness and ability to respond to any situation. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Kristof J.
