* '''PBEM will not check out the burn pan on days when the heat index is at or above 90°F.''' Not only is it unsafe for trainees to stand around in direct the sun for a prolonged period, but heat can cause the contents of a propane tank to expand and possibly cause a leak. If the borrower has a plan to mitigate these factors, PBEM can reconsider. | |||
* '''A minimum of two volunteers trained on the burn pan is required to check it out for a session.''' One volunteer needs to operate the control pad, while the other needs to ensure trainees are engaging in safe practices and keeping an eye out for prospective hazards. | |||

You will need: | |||
* 1.) The burn pan base unit, which comes in a large plastic roll case. It requires two people to lift it safely (if it needs to be lifted for loading); it weighs about 70 lbs. The case should also contain: | |||
** a.) The keypad; | |||
** b.) Black keypad cord that connects to the base unit; | |||
** c.) Yellow power cable that runs from the base unit to the cigarette lighter/12v power supply on a vehicle; | |||
** d.) Propane hose that runs from the base unit to a propane tank; | |||
** e.) Small plastic pitcher and funnel for refilling the water extinguishers; | |||
** f.) Plastic sensor guard that fits over the face of the base unit. | |||
* 2.) '''WATER''' fire extinguishers. Decide how many you will need based on how many trainees you expect. A single extinguisher is good for five or six passes. | |||
* 3.) Tire inflator or portable air compressor, to charge the fire extinguishers. | |||
* 4.) Metal prop plate that goes over the base unit. | |||
* 5.) Trash can prop, which fits over the metal prop plate. | |||
