Some of the Washington Redskins cheerleaders donned firefighter bunkers and took part in the fire muster held at the 100th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department Oct. 9. Here the girls cheer on one of their teammates who was completing the final part of the challenge, dragging a 150+pound mannequin backwards to the finish line. The event also included a hose pull, cone run, and sled hit. Teams from squadrons around RAF Mildenhall participated in the event, which was won overall by the 100th Maintenance Squadron.

A member of the 100th Civil Engineer Squadron Electrons, left with bucket, and 100th Maintenance Squadron, right with bucket, go head-to-head in the tiebreaker at the fire muster Oct. 9 at the 100th CES Fire Department. The two teams drew in the team event, both gaining a time of 1:54 minutes, so faced each other in an extra event to decide the winner. Team members had to take turns and grab a bucket, fill it with water from a special pool, run to the wooden shed and throw the water onto the roof. It then dripped down the drainpipe and into another container. Whoever filled the white container to overflowing, won. After a hard effort, 100th MXS took the trophy.
