“Students must bring their own standard field equipment, PPE and field apparel as per their agencies protocol for conducting a fatal fire investigation. If you are not sure what to bring please see our FAQ page. Laptop computers are strongly suggested as all training materials and handouts will be provided on a USB flash drive and each team will have to create a power point presentation at the conclusion of the course. SLOFIST will have shirts and hats available for purchase.” Self Contained Breathing Apparatus are not needed. Students are also welcome to bring (but not required) any investigation tools, vehicles, or equipment they have available to them.
