    J.R. Epps, National Firefighter planner, Bureau of Land Management, National Interagency Fire Center, teaches soldiers of 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, during wildland fire suppression training led by NIFC at Prussman Chapel, July 2, 2012. Soldiers participated in a six-hour block of instruction where they learned about fire safety, common fire behaviors, and tool familiarization. Soldiers conducted two days of introductory-level instruction led by firefighting professionals from U.S. Forest Service and NIFC, the nation's support center for wildland firefighting. During the classroom setting, soldiers learned basic, essential skills needed to safely fight and suppress fire, and put those skills to use during field training, where they received hands-on training.
