Looking Out for Others: The Rapid Lesson Sharing Tool

Building resilient teams requires that we share what we learn with others. The 2014 Interagency Standards for Fire and Fire Aviation (Chapter 18 - Reviews and Investigations) encourages the use of Rapid Lesson Sharing (RLS) as a means by which "wildland fire and aviation managers assess and improve the effectiveness and safety of organizational operations."

Rapid Lesson Sharing (RLS) is a process for field personnel to quickly share lessons with others. RLS can be used to document and share lessons learned as a result of close calls, minor accidents, successes, efficient ways of performing work, adaptations, or anything wildland fire personnel can learn from.
