4 1. Important Reminders 1. Crews are reminded that the forest is vulnerable to fire and that in event of pulling off the road for any reason, that crews should check for any smoldering embers prior to restarting. If a crew encounters a fire they should extinguish it if possible and/or report it to the next SOS or Stop point radio operator. 2. Crews may elect to carry additional volume of extinguishers to aid in fire suppression. In the event of an extinguisher being discharged it is forbidden for crews to compete on a special stage with a lower volume of extinguisher/s than specified in the current CAMS Manual. 3. Service and/or competing crew members carrying out refueling are also reminded to wear appropriate attire (e.g. neck to wrist to ankle) and to perform that function only in the designated refuel areas.
