Airman from the 60 Aerial Port Squadron and the 6 Air Refueling Squadron teamed up to load eight pallets of Meals-Ready-to-Eat (MREs) onto a KC-10 Extender heading to Alaska to feed firefighters working to extinguish hundreds of blazes burning across the state. A light winter snowpack and little rain in the spring left dry ground particularly vulnerable to fires that break out when lightning strikes. ( Air Force Photograph by Heide Couch/Released)
