How
to Conduct Drop Tests of
Aerial Retardant Delivery Systems
Once all drop test objectives have been met or when time has run out, breakdown can begin. The weighing stations are disassembled and packed for shipping. All equipment remaining at the grid is brought to the weighing area. This includes:
Remove all cups and cup holders from the grid stakes. Remove stakes from the ground and pile them neatly on a wooden pallet in the back of a truck. A forklift can remove the pallet of stakes from the truck so they can be banded for shipment. Consolidate partially filled cases of cups and lids. Neatly stack and shrink-wrap boxes of cups, lids, and pickup boxes on wooden pallets. Using a wooden pallet as the bottom, construct a large holding bin to ship miscellaneous unbreakable items. Label the contents on all shipping boxes and containers. Use the equipment list (appendix B) to assure nothing is left behind and to document where items are shipped. Pack video cameras, radios, and laptops for team members to carry with them.
