Kevin Schrecengost and Chief Warrant Officer 5 Thomas Luckenbach, an aircrew with the 28th Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigade, pose for a photo after extinguishing brush fires at Fort Hood during the 28th ECAB's mobilization training period. These Soldiers extinguished the fires using a water bucket attached to a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. According to Hetrick and Luckenbach, who nickname themselves the "Firehawks," they flew for about five hours and conducted 47 water drops during this mission, which included two hot refuels and being fed food and water on the go by the crew chiefs in the back of the helicopter.
