Choosing a Location, Gathering Equipment

Fire Ops 101 should be held at an appropriate fire department training facility. The scenarios you select will be based on the equipment and props you have available, and will most likely feature the training exercises commonly run at the training facility.

You will need turnout gear for each one of your participants. Send out a size form in advance to find out what you will need to provide each participant. Consider borrowing what you don't have from other departments or even the manufacturer.

You will also need equipment for each scenario. Once you have decided which scenarios to run, you will need to locate and secure available equipment for that scenario.
