    U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Kevin Brittan, left, 100th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department firefighter from Lindenhurst, N.Y., checks vital signs of Firefighter Jason French, 100th CES Fire Department from Lakenheath, Suffolk, April 14, 2014, after French completed a six-station course of tasks during self-contained breathing apparatus training on RAF Mildenhall, England. All RAF Mildenhall's firefighters conduct the training on an annual basis to determine their air consumption rate, as well as to ensure that using their SCBA becomes second nature. They work in pairs and use the buddy system when responding to a fire; when one firefighter is almost out of air, both leave the danger zone immediately to avoid the risk of one of them becoming a casualty.
