If  your 'hot box' is new , you should have had handy bits of paper with it including instructions to use it and even a R/A.  If not, get back to the supplier/manufacturer as kit from the various suppliers/manufactuterers can be quite different.  But, the links above are good.

There are some good resourses on this very site!

Contact Devon FRS and their BA Training/fire Behaviour School, they are the best and most forward thinking Fire Behaviour Training school in the country
Any views I express are my own and not my employers. Still confused!
