HILL AIR FORCE BASE — This week, sirens, explosions and rising smoke shouldn't cause concern for residents in Davis County.

It's all part of ongoing training at Hill Air Force Base.

From July 27-30, airmen will participate in an operational readiness exercise, which will teach them how to survive and act in real-world, wartime operations.

Some of the exercises will involve airmen wearing protective gear and gas masks, conducting self-aid and buddy care and practicing taking cover.
