Fire trucks assist B1 bombers with multiple emergencies after returning from Middle East

Bomber operations at RAF Fairford; with B1s taking off and landing during Operation Epic Fury. This has kept the fire department particularly busy with military aircraft needing inspection on landing, particularly with any hung ordnance. See different crash trucks and fire apparatus responding to emergency calls in this video. A playlist of American bomber deployments to Europe here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnAhJyL1opj5EQNpj0mTKGYoUEvqLtYux RAF Fairford is a bomber airfield operated by the US Air Force in Europe. It is owned by the UK government but leased to the US government for their operations. Permission was given for the base to be used by a forward deployment of bombers on Operation Epic Fury in the Middle East. As of this video being published, there are at least 21 bombers now deployed to Fairford. The Rockwell B-1B Lancers ('BONE') featured are operated by the 28th Bomb Wing at Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota, and the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess AFB in Texas. While the B-52 Stratofortresses ('BUFF') shown in this video are from the 5th Bomb Wing at Minot Air Force Base (AFB) in North Dakota. RAF Fairford Fire Department use the Rosenbauer Panther for Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) with callsigns 'Crash 6', 'Crash 18', and additional unmarked trucks that have arrived at the base during this deployment. We also see a Pierce Saber pumper called 'Engine 9' , 'Tanker 17' with an International 4400, and the Fire Chief using a Ford Expedition. Production of the B-1A first began in 1973, but the program was cancelled. The program was then restarted in the 1980s with the B-1B entering production in 1983, and operational capability in 1986. While the B-52A Stratofortress were first produced in 1952, with the latest variant being the B-52H complete in 1962. The B-52 is being fitted with new Rolls Royce engines, and is set to still be in service as the B-52J by the 2050s.
