RAF Mildenhall Fire Dept 'Rookie Academy' slashes training program from 4 months to 3 week

Colin Smith, right, 100th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Department British civilian firefighter, instructs rookie firefighters on how to safely respond to a hazardous materials incident while wearing decontamination suits as part of “Rookie Academy” training at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, Aug. 27, 2024. As part of the program, new rookie firefighters are trained together by different instructors within the fire department, so they learn equipment use and life-saving techniques the same way, rather than being split with different trainers.
