Melrose Range Controlled Burn
Kerry Gregg, Melrose Air Force Range fire management officer, uses a drip torch to start fires for a controlled burn, March 5, 2012. Controlled burns are used to deprive wild fires of fuel and to prevent them from spreading. Melrose Range provides a space for realistic training of ground and air forces and is operated by Cannon Air Force Base, N.M. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Josef Cole)
