During their day-long field training with the U.S. Forest Service, Soldiers from the 14th Brigade Engineer Battalion, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, receieved multiple blocks of instruction explaining hoses, pumps and chainsaws; gridding to find residual heat; digging a fireline and setting counter fires; and the hazards they can expect to face while on the fireline.
The 14th BEB deployed over 200 Soldiers in support of the Department of Defense wildland firefighting response operations. U.S. Northern Command, through U.S. Army North, remains committed to providing flexible DoD support to the National Interagency Fire Center to respond quickly and effectively to protect lives, property, critical infrastructure and natural and cultural resources.
