Firefighters check structural gear for air leaks and exposed skin

Dustin Brewster (left) of the Selfridge Fire Department checks fellow firefighter Manny Alam’s uniform for exposed skin or air leaks to ensure he is secure to enter a chemically contaminated area. This exercise was simulated to prepare firefighters and other emergency response personnel in the event of a chemical spill. Even before entering an exercise, firefighters are expected to perform these uniform sufficiency checks to ensure they are ready for real-life emergency situations. (USAF Photo by John S. Swanson)
