Fire Prevention Week Story and photos by Senior Airman Andrew Bertain 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Members of the 86th Civil Engineer Squadron showcase their abilities to put out a fire on a training aircraft while hosting an open house at Ramstein Air Base, Oct. 21. The 86th CES invited the Kaiserslautern Military Community and local partners to the open house to spread awareness of fire safety while cooking this coming holiday season.

Fire Prevention Week is an annual event aimed at raising awareness about fire safety, and this year, the U.S. Air Force is actively promoting cooking safety. The theme for this year’s Fire Prevention Week is, “Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire prevention,” emphasizing the crucial role individuals play in safeguarding their homes this coming holiday season. Cooking fires represent the number one cause of home fires and home injuries, making it vital for Team Ramstein to be wellinformed and proactive in preventing kitchen-related fires. To address this issue, the Air Force is urging the community to adopt essential fire safety practices in their kitchens. See FIRE PREVENTION, Pages 16-17

Just a short trip from Kaiserslautern, this land of lakes, ancient volcanoes, forests and rolling hills is ideal for bikers, hikers, road trippers and day trippers. Another great reason to visit: the region hosts Eifel National Park, which is captivating, wild, and historic. See EIFEL, Page 28
