The footprint at the SC Fire Academy is tight, given their many training stations and simulation areas. Units will need to downsize equipment and pack wisely. I.E. 2 Scouts per tent and PLEASE, no mega-canopies - unless your head count warrants the square footage. A Scout is Thrifty, and land is a somewhat scarce resource in this case. Thank you.
