Members of Coast Guard Fire and Rescue man a hose and wait for commands during a pit fire designed to simulate an aircraft fire near base Kodiak on May 23, 2013, in Kodiak, Alaska. These controlled pit fire exercises give the firefighter an understanding of the intensity and dynamics involved in an actual aircraft fire emergency, and train them in the proper methods to combating such fires.
