LZ Reminders
1. Contact Airlift on State
Ops 1
• Line of sight channel
• May not work until
they are close
![Page 16: Maple Valley Fire LZ Kit Set Up. Ojectives This presentation is intended to provide a guide on how to use, set up, and restore the new LZ kits.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551b8617550346d6338b594f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
LZ Reminders2. Give LZ Report
• Standard LZ’s have
report in LZ book
• Follow similar
template if landing
at non-standard
location:
• Dimensions
• Surface
• Hazards
• Special

Other UsesTurboflares were originally
designed as an alternative
to incendiary flares.
Besides LZ set ups, they
can be used for any
purpose you would use a
flare for such as marking
driveways or traffic control
![Page 19: Maple Valley Fire LZ Kit Set Up. Ojectives This presentation is intended to provide a guide on how to use, set up, and restore the new LZ kits.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551b8617550346d6338b594f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Other UsesAlong with the new LZ
kits, we are also adding
one lighthead to A80, A81,
and A83 to provide a
safer, faster, more
efficient way to mark
problem driveways during
responses. Simply push
the button and place on
the ground to mark the
driveway.

Conclusion
• The new Turboflare landing zone kits
are very similar to the current kit we
operate
• While its primary purpose is LZ set
up, feel free to use them for any use
you see fit
