Epiphany---you are correct.

In the interest of maybe helping those who do not have "set" forms or need some help, here is my manifest for the day. Feel free to use these or make your own based upon these. They get filled out every day for the prevailing temperature. In Idaho, where I am for the summer and fall season, we complete load calcs for different elevation/temperature ranges, and will adjust the fuel accordingly. We have a 10 minute dispatch time.



Each of our firefighters has 2 weights. One is just them in their flight gear, and the other one, (used here), is their "IA" weight, (initial attack). IA weight includes their line pack which typically weigh 40lbs, and a sleeping bag.

If anyone would like some of these forms, I do have them all in either excel or pdf format.
