The key to the suc- cess of our CONFLAG drill is that we stuck to our game plan, said Tanner. In a CONFLAG drill, as well as the real thing, it is important to establish communications, set boundaries to contain the fire, and then fight it. We did all of these with great enthus1 asm The NIMITZININE team had to learn a new way of fighting hangar bay fires during REFTRA The old doctrine was to go directly 32 into the hangar bay and extinguish the fire, said Tanner. However, it has been determined that the ventilation in the hangar bay is not enough to remove the toxic fumes produced when modern aircraft burn. We now need to use GBA's to fight hangar fires. Our REFTRA is probably the first time ever that FTG admitted we really didn't need them, said Tan- ner. There are very few ships that go through REFTRA in less than the allotted time. And consider- mg the size of our ship and the fact we only had six weeks between DSILA and REFTRA that quite an accomplishment RIGHT Pre arm a amst P S 8 simulated chemical attack pilots and flight deck crewmembers prepare to conduct flight operations in Chemical Protective Overgarments CCPO sultesj
