 Firefighters from Commander Navy Region Japan joined the import emergency team aboard USS George Washington in an effort to familiarize themselves with the ship in the event of a fire well ported in Yukosuka, Japan. We learned about the detail of the ship, about the ship board and the fire system. The visitors were shown the ship's halon system, a triple F system and firefighting equipment as GW sailors demonstrated their proficiency and knowledge of damage control and emergency readiness. One of our primary responses if there is a casualty on board in port is to call 911 so we would get a response from the base fire department. These evolutions are vital in contributing to the ever growing relationship between the U.S. and a key Asia-Pacific partner. For USS George Washington, I'm Petty Officer Aaron Devenberg.
