Shaun Parker, commander of the 36th Mission Support Group, right, and Airman 1st Class Brian Anjo Almonte, firefighter with the 36th Civil Engineer Squadron, spray down a new fire truck at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, Sept. 3, 2026. The "wetdown" tradition dates back to the 1800s when firefighters washed newly delivered horse-drawn apparatuses before pushing them into the station bays.

    A white firefighter's helmet belonging to Andersen Air Force Base Fire Rescue is resting on a concrete surface outdoors. The helmet displays a red leather shield badge with the number 36 and the unit identification 'Andersen AFB Fire Rescue.' A pair of black tactical gloves are placed on top of the helmet.
    Two military personnel in camouflage uniforms are conducting firefighting training, operating a blue fire hose that is actively discharging water. One individual wears a white firefighter helmet and balaclava, while the other wears a military cap. The training appears to take place at a fire station or military base, with fire trucks and additional personnel visible in the background.
    Three U.S. Air Force personnel wearing OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms and white firefighter helmets marked with the number '36' are smiling and laughing together outdoors. The helmets appear to be from a fire and rescue unit, suggesting a training exercise or demonstration visit. The setting appears to be a military installation, likely in a tropical location based on the palm trees visible in the background.
    Four military personnel in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are cleaning or inspecting a large Oshkosh ARFF (Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting) truck in front of what appears to be a fire station bay. The vehicle is a modern Oshkosh airport crash tender with distinctive black, red, and yellow chevron markings. The personnel appear to be conducting routine maintenance or pre-inspection cleaning of the vehicle.
    A group of military personnel in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniforms and civilian first responders in blue uniforms stand with heads bowed in what appears to be a moment of silence or prayer at an outdoor ceremony. The gathering includes both uniformed military members and fire/emergency services personnel, suggesting a joint commemorative or memorial event. The tropical vegetation and architectural elements in the background suggest a Pacific island location, possibly Guam or Hawaii.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms and civilian fire department staff in white shirts are gathered around a large white fire/rescue truck outside a fire station bay. The scene appears to be a ceremonial or commissioning event, possibly the unveiling or push-in ceremony of a new aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicle. A banner visible in the background references 'Andersen Fire Department,' suggesting this is at Andersen Air Force Base.
    A large group of approximately 40 individuals poses for a formal group photograph in front of a fire station bay containing a white fire truck. The group consists primarily of military personnel in camouflage uniforms (OCP/MultiCam pattern), along with several civilian fire department officials in white dress shirts and dark uniforms. Several individuals in the center are wearing white firefighter helmets, suggesting a ceremonial or training event.
