Airman 1st Class Shawn Mercer, 92nd Civil Engineer Squadron firefighter, stands proudly in front of a fire engine May 25, 2016, at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash. Fire Protection specialists deal with everything from brush fires to burning rocket fuel and hazardous material fires. After the initial 7.5 weeks of Basic Military Training, Airmen who want to be firefighters will attend Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas for five months of basic firefighting skills. “My uncle was a firefighter and I loved hearing his stories,” Mercer said. “I went along with the volunteer firefighters from my town a few times to watch and knew it is what I wanted to do.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Taylor Shelton)
