00:00.404 --> 00:02.987
(upbeat music)

00:05.490 --> 00:07.500
- So here at Luke, we train pilots,

00:07.500 --> 00:09.360
so how we help in that regard

00:09.360 --> 00:11.510
is that we mitigate BASH on the airfield.

00:11.510 --> 00:14.060
So that might include any vegetation

00:14.060 --> 00:16.200
that could grow and the
roots could cause the asphalt

00:16.200 --> 00:18.450
or the concrete to
degrade making the runway

00:18.450 --> 00:21.000
or the taxiways not usable.

00:21.000 --> 00:22.510
We've also got vegetation that could grow

00:22.510 --> 00:24.440
and block any airfield lighting or signage

00:24.440 --> 00:25.940
if visibility is low.

00:25.940 --> 00:27.430
And then obviously any wildlife

00:27.430 --> 00:29.780
that could come in contact
with those aircraft.

00:32.540 --> 00:33.480
Our secondary concern

00:33.480 --> 00:35.910
is controlling disease vector populations.

00:35.910 --> 00:37.790
So we're here and we work very closely

00:37.790 --> 00:39.422
with outside agencies like Public Health

00:39.422 --> 00:42.521
to ensure that our total force health

00:42.521 --> 00:44.920
isn't impacted by any wildlife

00:44.920 --> 00:46.650
that's capable of transmitting diseases

00:46.650 --> 00:47.930
to our airmen.

00:47.930 --> 00:50.650
Typically it consists of
some form of trapping,

00:50.650 --> 00:51.937
so whether that be live animal trapping

00:51.937 --> 00:56.020
for feral dogs, cats, coyote population

00:56.020 --> 00:57.840
out near the airfield,

00:57.840 --> 00:59.693
if there's wildlife that's
causing you a problem,

00:59.693 --> 01:02.323
let us deal with it,
that's what we're here for.
