The NASA Ames Research Center's fire department in California's Silicon Valley is set to conduct firefighting training on aircraft at Moffett Federal Airfield from Tuesday, September 8 to Friday, September 11. The training will utilize a propane-fueled aircraft fire simulator, with sessions running from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. PDT. Due to the propane fuel, minimal smoke is expected during the controlled training fires.
However, flames may be visible to drivers using U.S. Highway 101. The primary goal of this training is to equip Ames' first responders with the skills to handle various realistic aircraft firefighting situations.
