               FFT 1 Skills Workshops  


    Avenza-Set up--
                                                             Everyone should have Avenza 
                                                             Everyone should know how to effortlessly report their location 
                                                              by   coordinates of latitude and longitude 
                                                             Multiple crew members should have the latest fire's maps on                                                                     their devices
                                                             FFT 1's must be proficient in teaching the crew how to get
                                                               QR maps  from IAPs and  download from the Avenza Store 
                                                             FFT1's must be able to teach the crew how to use the tracking                                                                   tools on Avenza
                                                             EVERYONE must be oriented to the area ALWAYS, and know                                                                      where to go in  case of getting separated or some other                                                                               emergency event


                  Paper map use is obviously still required

                    FFT1s also need to know how to use Township,Range,Section... "Legal" directions 

                    Navigating to a new assignment location is a critical skill. More people on each crew with                      these skills stregthens  a crew in many ways.
