New training structure benefits Iraqi firefighters
Staff Sgt. Craig Cusenz checks the exhalation valve in a self contained breathing apparatus to make sure it's not stuck during combined American and Iraqi firefighter training July 30 at Kirkuk Regional Air Base, Iraq. Firefighters with the 506th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron here facilitated the training to teach Iraqi firefighters how to rescue victims trapped inside a burning building. Sergeant Cusenz, a firefighter with the 506th ECES, is deployed from Tinker Air Force Base, Okla. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Randi Flaugh)
