Staff Sgt. Josh Patterson, 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron Engine 21 operator, increases the throttle of Engine 21’s fire pump to the appropriate pressure of 120 pounds per square inch, which is the required pressure for a 1 ¾-inch hand line June 24, 2016, at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. Due to the warm weather, many of the fires occur outside to include fires in dumpsters, large generators overheating and catching fire and fuel spills caused by heat-expanded fuel that overflows out of aircraft fuel vents.
