Fire Fighting / Responsibilities

If employed in the forest, you will possibly have a range of fire fighting duties and responsibilities (see Fig 48 for an examples).

If possible, quick action at the source of the fire is important to stop the fire spreading.. This may involve the use of fire extinguishers and suppression equipment at your operation.

If you are not trained to fight fires then leave it to those that are!
