Naval Air Station Whiting Field Fire Department

== Area Served ==
Naval Air Station Whiting Field or NAS Whiting Field is a United States Navy airfield located near Milton in Santa Rosa County, Florida, some 38 miles northeast of NAS Pensacola. It was named on July 16, 1943 in honor of Captain Kenneth Whiting (July 22, 1881 – April 24, 1943). Known as the "Father of the aircraft carrier", Whiting was partially responsible for the conversion of the collier Jupiter into the Navy's first aircraft carrier USS Langley (CV-1) which he subsequently commanded, followed by command of the USS Saratoga (CV-3), as well as various air squadrons, air wings and air stations, prior to his retirement as a captain in June 1940. Whiting Field is one of the Navy's two primary flight training fields (the other being NAS Corpus Christi in Texas), and is known as the "Backbone of naval aviation training", supporting approximately 60 percent of all primary fixed-wing flight training and 100 percent of all initial helicopter training for US Navy, US Marine Corps, US Coast Guard, and US Air Force student pilots, as well as those of several allied nations. NAS Whiting Field is comprised of two separate airfields sharing one common support base. Primary fixed-wing flight training student aviators operate from North Whiting Field (KNSE), while helicopter flight training takes place at South Whiting Field (KNDZ). Whiting Field also uses a number of navy outlying landing fields (OLF) for training purposes. The air station serves a population of over 1,700 active duty personnel, approximately 2,400 family members and 9,400 retirees.  There are 238 civilian employees, 100 non-appropriated funded employees, and 851 contract employees who work on the base.
