U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Tyrone Banks, 722nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, moves a fire bottle at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, Aug. 14, 2026. Fire bottles are moved from engine to engine during the startup sequence to ensure each engine has immediate access to fire protection as it is started. The bottles hold a pressurized fire-extinguishing agent that can be released into the engine area to suppress an engine fire quickly. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman Matthew Nguyen)
