Fawaz Talib using a Dry chemical fire extinguisher during a training burn. If you look closely you can see that we have put a Air Assault $#!%%@& to good use.

 

Controlled burn. We soon learned the Iraqi insurgants understood cause and effect. They would start a fire, we would put it out. It does not take a rocket scientist to realize that leads to a bad ending (for us). so we burned off the perimeter to help the force protection guys AND to prevent us getting shot at again on a fire call. Reality dictates that it is difficult, if not impossible to hold a fire hose in one hand and a rifle in the other. We did not have the man power to pull our own security and fight fires at the same time.
