The United States Air Force Fire Protection career specialty is the military's premiere specialty in fire protection. Much like their civilian counterparts, these military firefighters protect people, property, and the environment from fires and disasters. They provide firefighting, specialized rescue, HazMat responses, as well as provide fire prevention and response to weapons of mass destruction.[1] Though every branch has its own fire protection career specialties (USAF - 3E7X1, Army - 12M, USMC - 7051, Navy - AB, Coast Guard - DC), they all must graduate from the Air Force's 13.5 week fire academy (or civilian equivalent) in San Angelo, Texas before being awarded their Firefighter certification.[2]
