Sam Wu, a project manager at the National Technology and Development Center in San Dimas, Calif., helps his crew extinguish a controlled fire at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., May 11, 2023. Technicians from the U.S. Forest Service National Technology and Development Program conducted test burns using a fire front simulator system. This cutting-edge system is controlled through a computer, which opens and closes fuel lines and ignites the burners in the simulator. It replicates the various stages of a wildfire, including the approach, immersion, and post-radiation phases. The testing provided indispensable data on how heat exposure affects both equipment and personnel, enabling the development and modification of equipment to ensure the utmost safety for U.S. Department of Defense and wildland firefighters.
