SMOKE CHECKS

TRIANGULATION 

You smell a fire, but don't know where it is. Cal Fire doesn't know either. 

Results can be called into Cal Fire to help them respond to the fire.

[it is critical that as many stations assist so that fires can be stopped early. Not smelling smoke is as important as smelling smoke! ]

FORMAT TANGO 4 SMOKE CHECK REPORT  4/09/2021 [each station makes Specific observations and records this information on this form. Then the information is reported into Control during the Net.
