GROTON, Conn. – Seaman Recruit Jonathan Aldred, a student at Basic Enlisted Submarine School
(BESS) puts out a fire as part of the fire safety booth at the Naval Submarine Base New London
(SUBASE) Safety Fair in Dealey Plaza, May 26. Fire inspector Jeff King, of the SUBASE fire department
instructed participants on the proper use of fire extinguishers, then used a remote control to start a fire
in a box fueled by propane. Users had to pull the pin out of the extinguisher, aim, and shoot water side
to side to douse the flame. Though it was fun, this is a crucial skill, especially for people like Aldred,
who may be called upon to put out a fire on a submarine in the future.
