From the International Championship for Makes 1967 to modern-day firefighting drills, they have been a crucial tool in combating flames. The evolution of these life-saving devices can be traced back through history, with engravings showcasing inventions like Phillipss Fire-Annihilator and L Extincteur.

Whether it's crew chiefs standing beside UH-60L Black Hawk helicopters or flight crew members ready with a fire extinguisher, these images remind us of the constant vigilance required to protect lives and property against devastating fires.
