Fire Engineering Training Community

Where firefighters come to talk training

I am new to this whole thing and just starting out in the Tech Rescue / Collapse team. I was wondering what everyone carried with them (personally) when deployed on a Collapse incident. Is there something that you carry that you would recommend others carrying? Can you give me a basic list on things to carry...Hammer, tape measure, speed square, level,pencils...
Thanks

Here's a link to FEMA's site where you can download the FOG either as a pdf or MSWord file:
