Fire Shelter Rules

[nissan04]

I am currently a volunteer firefighter in California and work for Cal-Fire. The volunteers currently use the old generation fire shelters and don't know if there is a law or "recommendation" to start using the new generation shelters. I use a new generation shelter cause of my employment with Cal-Fire. Can someone point me in the right direction if I should recommend to the chief to purchase some of the new generation shelters?

The last year the old generation shelters were supposed to be allowed was 2010. Last fire season was supposed to be no more old shelters. I will follow up this post with a concrete link citing a more authoritive source than someone on a chat board. However i can assure you that if anyone shows up to a fire with an old gen shelter that my team is assigned to will diplomatically be asked to go to supply and check out a new gen shelter.
