Seeing those firefighters from Whiting Field which is close to Pensacola reminds me of something.

A few years ago, the fuel storage tanks at NAS Pensacola caught on fire. The Navy fought the fire all night then finally asked Eglin AFB for assistance.

I read that the Air Force Firefighters put it out within 10 minutes of arriving.

Fighting fires on a plane is serious business, as well as a ship, OR fuel storage tanks.

Fuel tanks are a bear...keeping the tanks cool is top priority so the tank won’t change shape and dump its contents. And, they are usually close together and a bear to fight. Not fun at all!!
