Langley NCO is fire first responder
U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Michael Wade, 1st Maintenance Squadron Aerospace Ground Equipment supervisor, stands in the charred remains of a fire he put out on Dec. 7, 2011, near the Kraft Neighborhood Park, in Hampton, Va. Being the first responder to the fire and jumping into action, Wade believed other Air Force members would have done the same, a reflection of the Air Force core value of "service before self."
