Marines with Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting charge toward the hot flames during a live-fire training exercise at the designated burn pit here, Feb. 3. ARFF Marines are trained to stay low to the ground as they fight their red, orange and yellow nemesis, moving the hand-line in a back and forth motion to drown the flames in water. ARFF conducts bimonthly training to keep the Marines’ skills sharp and help them become confident in their technique, gear and each other.
