Firehose pull

Col. Anthony Higdon, the 96th Civil Engineer Group commander, pulls a full water hose across a finish line as part of the Chiefs versus Eagles Fire Prevention Week Challenge Oct. 9 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. Colonels and chief master sergeants raced through a series of firefighting physical activities to see who could finish first. The challenges included hose dragging, ladder climbing, victim carry and more. Four colonels and seven chiefs competed and their scores were averaged to determine the winner. The Eagles won by 12 seconds, but the chiefs quickly pointed out that had they chosen to only have four competitors, they’d have taken the victory by a second. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
