1. SAFETY
Firefighting is an inherently risky activity. Knowledge and training may manage that risk. This document is
not a training manual and does not provide all detailed operation. This guide serves as a quick reference for
SAM operation. AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) shall provide training and guidelines for system operation.
1.1 DANGERS, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTICES
DANGERS, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTICES consist of two parts: A heading (that identifies possible re-
sult if disregarded) and a statement of the hazard (that provides the minimum precautions). The following
warnings and cautions are used throughout the Hale SAM manuals.

OR DEATH.
