Volume 15 Issue 2 - Rapid Lesson Sharing

This issue of Two More Chains is about the evolution of learning in the wildland fire service. We look at the history of accident reporting, we hear from the field about what makes a good RLS. We also focus on the next step: turning lessons into action through local conversations, SOP adjustments, equipment changes, training, and briefings.

Over a 10-year span we have recorded 13 separate incidents of wheels nearly or completely separating from Type 6 engines due to problems related to lug nuts and studs.

Look at the data, take action.

Latest Episode - Erik Apland talks with Lindsay Amundson about the importance of a culture of humility and open communication in training and mentorship. They also discuss the challenges of working with interagency qualifications while not being in a fire or land management agency.
