Marines pose for a picture with students from E.C. Killin Elementary School, Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, during a tour of the aircraft rescue and fire fighting station, May 8, on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan. The Marines are rescuemen with ARFF, Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, MCAS Futenma. The tour was a part of a visit to the flight line on MCAS Futenma that provided students with the understanding of the ARFF Marines’ responsibilities and the opportunity to explore various career paths. During the visit, ARFF Marines demonstrated the use of hand lines, also known as fire hoses; mounted water turrets; and the proper use of various personal protective equipment, such as gas masks, helmets with face shields, proximity equipment and footwear. After the demonstrations, the Marines taught the students how to properly wear the protective equipment and operate hand lines. The tour provided children with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in various career fields to enhance classroom learning.
