Airmen stop a railcar relief valve failure at Fire Station 2 at Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, May 22, 2022.

The hands-on portion of the certification consisted of three simulated scenarios: stopping a one-ton container, typically used for storage, from leaking chlorine from its fusible plugs; the transportation of hazardous materials by rail; and bolting down an unstable cylinder, which contained nitrogen.
