Scott AFB conducts fuel spill exercise
U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Sheldon Wagner and David Silva, 375th Civil Engineer Squadron firefighters, participate in a fuel spill exercise on Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, August 10, 2023. Such exercises enhance the base's ability to respond swiftly and effectively to fuel spills, minimizing environmental damage and safety risks. In the event of an actual fuel spill, the familiarity gained from exercises can significantly reduce response time, potentially preventing the escalation of the situation.
