Mobile pop-up tents are ideal for command posts



Contributed by: Perry Denehy, FireRehab columnist


By Perry Denehy, FireRehab columnist

Purchase a 10-by-10 pop-up tent for use at the command post or rehab sector. The tent keeps folks out of the elements and helps identify the location of the incident. These products are available at most sporting goods and discount chains. As an added bonus, you might want to consider adding customized lettering on the tent material. Always use caution in high wind conditions.
