Firefighters from F.E. Warren AFB, Wyo., and the Wyoming Air National Guard helped save homes and other structures from a quickly spreading grass fire earlier this week. According to the Associated Press news service, high winds fed the fire, which consumed 1,000 acres of grassland west of Cheyenne.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
