Loadmasters with the 439th Airlift Wing, Air Force Reserve Command, load a 1982 Mack 1250 GPM pumper fire truck onto a C-5B Galaxy at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst N.J., Aug. 12, 2016.
The truck will be flown to Managua, Nicaragua. Master Sgt. Jorge A. Narvaez, a traditional New Jersey Air National Guardsman with the 108th Security Forces Squadron, was instrumental in getting the truck donated to a group of volunteer firefighters in Managua. The truck donation is done through the Denton Program, which allows U.S. citizens and organizations to use space available on military cargo aircraft to transport humanitarian goods to countries in need. The 439th is located at Westover Air Reserve Base, Mass. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Mark C. Olsen/Released) Original public domain image from Flickr
