**Flashlight**

The flashlight is a tool given to players at Probationary Wildland Firefighter, and is used to light up dark areas. It is important to note that this tool does penetrate smoke, and is usually not used by players as the map is currently not dark enough to warrant its use.

**Axe**

The axe is a tool given to players at Probationary Wildland Firefighter, and is used to chop down trees. It takes 6 seconds to chop one down, and is used to create fire lines. It can not chop down trees with fire retardant/phos check (red), trees on fire and dead trees.

**Deployment Shelter**

The deployment shelter is a tool given to players at Probationary Wildland Firefighter, and prevents players from taking fire damage while equipped. However, while this tool is equipped you can not move. While It is possible to run away from the fire, at low health the best bet is to equip this tool and wait for your screen to lighten up.

**Firehose**

The firehose is a tool given to players at Probationary Wildland Firefighter, and is used to put out fires. If the player is within 200 studs of a vehicle, they can use the hose to put out a fire by aiming at the trunk and firing water.

**Chainsaw**

The chainsaw is a tool given to players at Junior Wildland Firefighter, and is used to cut down trees. It takes 3 seconds to cut one down, making it superior to the axe. However, It can not chop down trees with fire retardant/phos check (red), trees on fire and dead trees.

**Halycon**

The Halycon is a tool given to players at Sr Wildland Firefighter, and is used to look at weather patterns. It shows wind direction, wind speed, and humidity percentage. The information can be used to determine what direction the fire will mainly spread towards easier. The wind direction statistic shows which way the fire will spread, wind speed will determine how fast the fire spreads so will humidity.

**Helitack Radio**

The Helitack Radio is a tool given to players at Squad Captain, and is used to call a helicopter in to drop water or fire retardant/phos check. This tool can be purchased in the shop for 25 robux, and is a one use tool requiring a respawn/rebuy to use it again.

Once the player equips the tool, they will be taken into a birds eye view shot of the surrounding forest and be given a few options. T changes the drop type from water to retardant/phos check R rotates the drop by 15 degrees, clicking will send the helicopter, and F closes the menu.

Dropping water on the fire will put the fire out, and dropping retardant/phos check on normal trees will give them red leaves preventing them from being caught on fire. There will be a neon green outline of the trees you select, but the outline is currently not showing on flaming trees. That does not stop you from dropping water on them, though.
