    A person wearing protective gloves and work clothing is operating a drip torch, a tool used for controlled prescribed burning or land management. The device, consisting of a red fuel canister connected to a metal wand with a nozzle, is actively igniting dry vegetation on the ground. The surrounding terrain shows dry grass, rocky soil, and already-charred areas indicating ongoing burn activity.

    A briefing or training session is taking place inside a fire station bay, with a man in a blue polo shirt presenting to a group of firefighters gathered around a whiteboard. The majority of attendees are wearing navy blue 'Poway Fire Department' uniforms, with at least one person in SDFD (San Diego Fire Department) turnout gear visible on the right. A fire engine with yellow and red markings is visible in the background through an open bay door.
    A group of three firefighters in yellow turnout gear and white helmets are gathered in conversation on an open dirt field. Multiple red fire trucks are lined up behind them, with visible unit markings including 'MIRAMAR', 'MSM', 'POWAY', and numbers '62' and '7'. The setting appears to be a staging area in a dry, arid landscape with hills visible in the background.
    The image shows individuals using drip torches and handheld ignition tools to conduct a prescribed burn or controlled fire operation on dry grassland. Multiple flames are visible from different ignition devices being operated by workers wearing protective gloves and dark clothing. This appears to be a professional land management or wildfire training exercise.
    A group of firefighters in full protective gear are conducting a controlled burn operation in an open grassland area. At least five personnel are visible, with two holding drip torches actively igniting vegetation along a fire line. Emergency vehicles with flashing lights are visible in the smoky background.
    Four individuals, appearing to be firefighters or fire management personnel, stand along a dirt road observing or managing a large wildfire or controlled burn. Massive billowing smoke clouds dominate the scene, rising from burning grassland or scrubland terrain. The figures are silhouetted against the dense smoke with hills visible in the background.

    A team of firefighters is conducting a controlled burn operation across a dry grassland field. The lead firefighter in the foreground carries a drip torch, actively igniting a line of fire, while several colleagues in yellow helmets follow behind. Smoke rises in the background against a clear blue sky, with what appears to be a communications tower and distant mountains visible on the horizon.
    The image shows what appears to be a wildfire training exercise in an open, arid field. A line of personnel in yellow protective gear are walking across the dry grassland toward a smoke source, with a red fire truck visible in the background. In the foreground, a circular sandbag structure surrounds an opening in the ground, likely a water access point or containment feature.
    A firefighter in full protective gear walks through dry grassland while carrying a drip torch, actively igniting or managing a controlled burn. Flames and smoke are visible along a hillside to the right of the figure. The scene is consistent with a prescribed burn operation used for land management.
    A group of firefighters are conducting a controlled burn operation along a roadside in what appears to be a dry, arid landscape.
