    U.S. Airmen assigned to the North Carolina Air National Guard (NCANG), 145th Civil Engineering Squadron (CES), respond to and attempt to extinguish a simulated aircraft mishap just outside the NCANG Base, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Mar. 6, 2022. The 145th CES coordinated with the Charlotte Fire Department and other local authorities to simulate an aircraft mishap and what steps to handle in the event of such a disaster. This is the first exercise of this kind since the 1990s involving many moving parts including local fire departments, Emergency Management and the 145th Airlift Wing.

    This image depicts a firefighting training exercise at what appears to be a dedicated training facility. A fire truck numbered '44' is actively spraying water on a burning tanker or mock aircraft structure producing large orange flames and black smoke. In the foreground, a training mannequin lies in the grass, used to simulate a casualty victim during the drill.
    Two firefighters in full protective gear and SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) are directing a high-pressure water stream at a large black industrial storage tank that is actively burning. The tank shows visible flames and fire damage on its left side, with water pooling on the ground around the scene. This appears to be either a live fire training exercise or an actual emergency response at an industrial facility.
    A group of firefighters in full turnout gear are gathered around a red and yellow fire engine, appearing to be engaged in a training exercise or drill. One person in a high-visibility vest is standing on top of the fire apparatus handling equipment, while others manage hoses on the ground. A person wearing a 'Charlotte Fire Department' shirt is visible among the group, suggesting this is a Charlotte, NC Fire Department operation.
