NASA Ames Fire Department to Conduct Aircraft Firefighting Training Using Propane-Fueled Simulator at Moffett Federal Airfield
From September 8 to September 11, 2026, the NASA Ames Fire Department will conduct aircraft firefighting training at Moffett Federal Airfield in California. The training will use a propane-fueled aircraft fire simulator and occur daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. PDT. The propane fuel is expected to produce minimal smoke, though flames may be visible to drivers on nearby U.S. Highway 101. This training aims to prepare Ames first responders for various realistic aircraft firefighting scenarios. (NASA)
