Each burn unit is different requiring its own fire plan, so what was needed for one burn may not necessarily be required for another. At a minimum you should have some type of ignition device (i.e. drip torch), and adequate suppression equipment (i.e. slip-on pumper units, backpack pumps, handtools).
