Ivan Ruhuhahsen, a service technician with Perimeter Solutions, works on the 146th Airlift Wing's new Modular Airborne Firefighting System (MAFFS) pits ground tanks at Channel Islands Air National Guard Station, Port Hueneme, California March 3, 2022. The new fire-retardant ground tanks have increased the storage capability five-fold from a 10,000-gallon capacity to 50,000 gallons to accommodate more MAFFS aircraft and the Forest Service's Very Large Air Tankers (VLAT's) with water and fire retardant solution.
