Hirokatsu Matsuda, a 374th Civil Engineer Squadron welder technician, grinds a welded section of an internal coil during an emergency east side boiler system repair at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Feb. 6, 2026. The boiler uses steam internally to heat water, which is distributed to east side facilities and housing for comfort heating and hot water. Damage to the internal coil caused a loss of system pressure, requiring the boiler to be shut down to prevent further damage. (U.S. Air Force photo by Yasuo Osakabe
