Vandenberg Trains for Wildfires
Zachary Hernandez, 30th Civil Engineer Squadron firefighter, treks across an assigned burn area with a drip torch during the annual Watt Training Burns held at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., June 27, 2025. Vandenberg’s 30 CES Fire Department executed burns near Watt Road and 13th Street at North Vandenberg, covering a total of 30 acres over the course of 12 days. The intensive two-week exercise gives Vandenberg’s wildland firefighting teams valuable experience fighting live fire scenarios. (U.S. Space Force photo by Malcolm Summers III)
