U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Kodi Newsome and John Parison, 5th Civil Engineer Squadron firefighters, stand with their gear at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, Sept. 17, 2019. Firefighters often serve as both firefighters and emergency medical technicians because they are often the first to arrive at an accident scene. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Josh W.
