While no document can be comprehensive enough to cover all aspects of an organization, particularly as vast as the Open Fire Academy has become, we have here a living document intended to meet such a goal. This document can be utilized as a Help Guide as well as our Standard Operating Guidelines. We use the term Guidelines because this is not a series of processes and steps but a means of setting direction and parameters. As with all guidelines, common sense and safety should prevail.
