* 10.) A safe location. The prop should '''''NEVER''''' be used inside a building, garage, or enclosed area. Keep it 20 ft. away from vehicles, and do not use it near combustible materials. Set it up on a hard surface such as concrete, rock or stone (do not use on a wooden deck). | * 10.) A safe location.

* 11.) Sufficient prep and break down time. You'll want 15 minutes for each extinguisher you need to prep, and 15 minutes to prep the base unit system. When the exercise is over, you'll need to wait ten minutes or so for the equipment to cool down and another five or ten to break it down. | * 11.) Sufficient prep and break down time.

=== Transporting the props === | |||
Never leave this equipment unattended when not secure: not when transporting it, storing it, or using it. When transporting and storing it, all props must be kept in a secure location. Do not leave the props locked in an unattended car open to view (storing in the trunk is OK). The large case and shiny metal is an ideal target for thieves of even mediocre ability who can smash your window and pull it out of your vehicle in less than the time it took you to read this section.<br /> | |||
