    Alaska Army National Guard 1st Battalion, 207th Aviation aircrew practices fire suppression support training using a Bambi water bucket in a CH-47 Chinook helicopter near Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, July 16 2019. 1-207th AVN aircrews have supported multiple fire suppression missions this summer with UH-60 Black Hawks. The Chinooks -- a new aircraft to the 207th AVN inventory this year -- provided wildfire suppression support for the first time ever July 8 at the Swan Lake Fire in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge near Sterling, Alaska. The Chinooks and Black Hawks continuously train to remain proficient and ready to respond to missions as needed. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Pvt. Grace Nechanicky/Released)
