Aaron Alcaraz, Mr. Bryan Runyon, and Mr. Bart Ridings conduct a debriefing after combatting a kerosene-based JP-8 jet fuel fire at the 182nd Airlift Wing in Peoria, Ill., May 13, 2013. The 182nd Civil Engineer Squadron firefighters tested the capabilities of their P-34 Rapid Intervention Vehicle during a controlled burn exercise using ultra-high pressure water dispersal technology. According to the Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency, the P-34 increases water effectiveness by up to 350 percent as compared to conventional firefighting vehicles in the Air Force’s fleet.
