GIRL ON FIRE!

Still holding onto her scorched flight suit, Staff Sgt. Erica Luke said she was “beyond happy” that it worked as advertised. She said she had always been taught that a flight suit was fire-retardant up to 700 to 800 degrees. But she admitted she was surprised that it was able to deflect most of the flash fire that enveloped her. She now stores the charred flight suit in a shadow box … protecting it as it once protected her. (Courtesy photo)
