Tom Murrie, Jackson Guard wildland firefighter, creates a firebreak in the forest to keep the fire from moving any further after it had burned approximately 90 acres of the Eglin Air Force Base range Sept. 21. The still smoldering fire was determined to be human-caused and is under investigation. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)

Turtle's dozen
A 96th Civil Engineer Squadron biologist carefully places another sea turtle egg in a cooler at one of Eglin Air Force Base’s beaches Aug. 2. The eggs will be transported to the east coast so the turtles can be released without the threat of encountering oil from the spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The group of biologists removed 117 eggs from the nest on this day and more than 300 eggs have been moved so far. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)

Tag it
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service researchers, surgically inserts an acoustic transmitter into a federally protected Gulf sturgeon. The tag will help researchers with the 96th Civil Engineer Group’s Natural Resource Management Section at Jackson Guard track the adult sturgeon as it migrates from its freshwater spawning areas to its winter habitat around the base’s Gulf test ranges. JG will use the collected data help define mission avoidance zones and enhance military mission related consultations with fish and wildlife agencies. Courtesy photo

Clean up
In an effort to clean up former munitions burial sites, explosive experts have recovered more than 3.6 million pounds of buried munitions on base ranges under the Military Munitions Response Program. The 96th Civil Engineer Group Environmental Restoration Office hosted a tour of the MMRP sites to help Eglin and Hurlburt Field Restoration Advisory Board community members inform the local community about the base’s commitment to a clean environment.
