Firefighters beat the heat

Senior Airman Dashawn Gilford, 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron firefighter, stretches a 1-3/4 inch hand line, which flows approximately 150 gallons per minute, from the side of the Engine 21 June 24, 2016, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. The 100-foot hand line is broken into 50-foot lengths and is drained of water and rolled to remove air after each use. The hose lengths are then reattached and loaded back onto the engine neatly and correctly to ensure a smooth deployment when an emergency arises.
