00:10.540 --> 00:11.540
mm hmm .

00:14.840 --> 00:16.896
First responders from Joint region ,

00:16.896 --> 00:18.951
marianas U . S . Naval Base Guam and

00:18.951 --> 00:21.290
helicopter , sea Combat Squadron 25

00:21.300 --> 00:23.220
participated in aerial wildland

00:23.220 --> 00:25.331
firefighting coordination training at

00:25.331 --> 00:27.498
the naval magazine in santa rita april

00:27.498 --> 00:29.880
19th with the wildland and and Guam

00:29.880 --> 00:31.824
being the size of nature . It is ,

00:31.824 --> 00:33.824
there's a pretty common threat . We

00:33.824 --> 00:36.047
have what they call mutual threat zones

00:36.047 --> 00:38.158
within the island that cover not only

00:38.158 --> 00:39.936
the territory or the government

00:39.936 --> 00:42.102
property as well as public property as

00:42.102 --> 00:44.158
well as municipal as well as federal

00:44.158 --> 00:46.324
property and for the , for the federal

00:46.324 --> 00:48.491
government us to be able to launch the

00:48.491 --> 00:50.491
U . S . Navy aircraft and get water

00:50.491 --> 00:52.436
deployed uh in a in a in a quicker

00:52.436 --> 00:54.547
manner , I guess you could say , um ,

00:54.547 --> 00:56.602
prevents obviously the spread of the

00:56.602 --> 00:58.658
fire . It prevents the environmental

00:58.658 --> 01:00.824
impact of fire spread . Things of that

01:00.824 --> 01:02.824
nature safeguards the structures as

01:02.824 --> 01:04.824
well . As for us as responders , we

01:04.824 --> 01:06.880
don't necessarily have to go as deep

01:06.880 --> 01:09.102
into the wild land fire and put some of

01:09.102 --> 01:11.324
our crews at risk as well . So , having

01:11.324 --> 01:13.890
these aerial command functions and

01:13.890 --> 01:15.557
dropping water from an aerial

01:15.557 --> 01:17.723
perspective , it's just uh , it's just

01:17.723 --> 01:20.170
incredible during the training , HSC 25

01:20.170 --> 01:22.740
crew members familiarized DRM and NBG

01:22.740 --> 01:24.851
fire and emergency services personnel

01:24.851 --> 01:26.907
With their helicopter bucket , which

01:26.907 --> 01:29.073
can deliver up to 420 gallons of water

01:29.073 --> 01:31.184
per release for aerial firefighting ,

01:31.184 --> 01:33.300
discuss radio communications and

01:33.300 --> 01:35.189
explain how to extract helicopter

01:35.189 --> 01:37.356
personnel in the event of an emergency

01:37.356 --> 01:39.078
landing jr m . And the federal

01:39.078 --> 01:41.189
firefighters do this as their primary

01:41.189 --> 01:44.030
mission . This is probably a second or

01:44.030 --> 01:46.260
a tertiary mission for us to help out .

01:46.440 --> 01:48.770
But we enjoy helping out we want to

01:48.770 --> 01:50.980
help out and this coordination team

01:50.980 --> 01:53.370
meeting , um , basically lets them

01:53.370 --> 01:56.130
understand our capabilities and

01:56.130 --> 01:58.660
limitations , um , and our availability

01:58.660 --> 02:02.520
as well . It also lets them know how

02:02.520 --> 02:05.290
best to utilize us in cases of fire .
