    A Bureau of Land Management Vegas Valley crewman shows Soldiers with 5th Battalion (HIMARS), 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, 17th Field Artillery Brigade, 7th Infantry Division, the proper way to sharpen one of the many tools they will need on their upcoming firefighting mission Aug. 19, 2015. “We were asked to come here and help these guys out and get them situated so they have a basic understanding of fighting fire and the tools they need to get this job done safe,” said Jason Lanier, a squad boss on the Vegas Valley hand crew. “It’s a great thing to be able to show them how to do that and hopefully it helps them.”
