Title: STS-35 Pilot Gardner during fire fighting exercises at JSC fire training pit

Description:

STS-35 Pilot Guy S. Gardner extinguishes a small blaze during a fire
handling  training session for crewmembers at JSC Fire Training Pit across
from the  Gilruth Center Bldg 207.  Wearing a navy blue flight suit,
Gardner approaches  fire while operating a fire extinguisher as Commander
Vance D. Brand (far  right) and Payload Specialist Samuel T. Durrance look
on.  The crew was  briefed on types of potential blazes and the correct
means of controlling  each type.  STS-35 will mark the first seven-member
crew staffing since the  Challenger accident of January 1986.
