Real-world foam test makes for good training opportunity

The interior of Hangar 1210 was the site of the base’s most recent emergency scenario exercise that occurred Nov. 26. The hangar, which has 10 large capacity and 2 small capacity foam generators, released approximately 110 gallons of two percent Ansul Jet-Ex foam concentrate that is part of the newly-installed fire suppression system. The foam is detergent-based with additives to keep it stable and keep it from freezing. The purpose of the exercise was so Exercise Evaluation Team members could assess how on-base emergency response personnel gain and maintain control of a site after a fire suppression system discharge incident has occurred.

412th CE, AFFT Museum work to save historic wall

Pictured is what remains of the Muroc Manor signature wall before crews prepare to encase and protect the historic Muroc Manor signature wall from any debris during the wall’s extraction process. The signature wall potentially holds hundreds of signatures dating from the early 1940s to the 1960s. Since the wall was previously painted over, the team had to bring in an infrared camera to further evaluate the structure in order to carefully remove the wall in November.

‘If these walls could talk’ - 412th CE, AFFT Museum work to save historic wall

Demolition crews can be seen in front of Muroc Manor, which was the original home of the commanding general of Muroc Army Airfield. The building was constructed in 1943 and is important because it served as the social hub for the base and played host to aviation pioneers and the Hollywood elite during the golden age of flight test at Edwards. Due to the time the building spent unused and weather beaten by the elements, the building was scheduled to be demolished. (U.S. Air Force photo by Jet Fabara)

Team Edwards hits ‘grand slam’ with space optimization efforts

As part of a basewide space optimization initiative, Building 2650A has been a ‘temporary facility’ that was constructed in September 1988 and has been slated for demolition. Over the years it supported a myriad of test programs, but as a temporary facility, its life expectancy has long passed and its energy and maintenance costs are not in line with the new Air Force energy and cost efficiency guidelines.
