Honduran, JTF-Bravo firefighters team up to train
SOTO CANO AIR BASE, Honduras — Tech. Sgt. Clive Chipman, JTF-Bravo firefighter, gives s group of Honduran firefighters some last-minute instructions before they enter a building filled with smoke Oct. 6 at the Soto Cano burn house. The JTF-Bravo firefighters used a smoke machine to simulate a building that was on fire while they watched how the Hondurans performed searching for victims and ventilating the smoke out of the burn house. The JTF-Bravo firefighters worked with the Honduran firefighters to bring them up to speed on different procedures used here in case the firefighters ever have to work together in the local community. Some of the training included litter training, aircraft training and general firefighter safety and procedures (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Chad Thompson).
