U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services Paul Hensel, Bitter Lake Wildlife Refuge engine captain, smiles for a portrait at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, March 27, 2025. This was Hensel’s first time acting as the Burn Boss leading the team during the prescription fire, with the responsibility of ensuring all teammates are safe and have the equipment they need, patrolling the perimeter of the burn, and tracking the wind, as well as gathering data and input for the after-action report.
