Soldiers assigned to 7th Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, practice opening, entering and sealing practice fire shelters during wildland fire suppression training led by the National Interagency Fire Center at Fort Carson training areas, June 30, 2012. Firefighters need to be able to drop unnecessary gear, open their fire shelter, and seal themselves inside within a minute to protect themselves from poisonous gasses emitted from a rapidly approaching fire. Soldiers conducted two days of introductory-level instruction led by firefighting professionals from U.S. Forest Service and NIFC, the nation's support center for wildland firefighting. During the classroom setting, soldiers learned basic, essential skills needed to safely fight and suppress fire, and put those skills to use during field training, where they received hands-on training.
