The gear should include several sets of fire proof Nomex shirts and pants, two pairs of leather boots, fire shelter, hard hat, field pack or web gear, etc. Additionally a radio chest harness with a programmable hand held radio is very useful. Since the planned burning schedule of each team can change according to the overall burning weather in Florida, there is always the possibility that groups will be shifted to a colder state north of Florida.
Safety is No.
1 Human life stands before all other things. Safety zones and escape routes, such as roads, plow lines and the fire lines should be kept ever in mind. If participants don't feel comfortable with a situation, they are expected to speak out. Local experts will inform the teams about the dangers. High leather boots are recommended.
