WEEK OF REMEMBRANCE - Day 4: Getting Real About Complexity



2017 Wildland Firefighter Week of Remembrance banner
Sometimes our plans don’t work out. We know this, that is why we have contingency plans—but how many contingency plans should you have? How do you prepare for the complexity we face?

What if you were dealing with…

Surprising fire behavior, differing opinions, first plan doesn't work, note everyone is aware of who is on the line, medical emergency, layout not known to all

Discuss the following questions:

How will you prepare for each instance?


How will you prepare for all of them happening at the same time?

Want context from a real-life event? Watch and discuss Episode 3 of the Nuttall Fire Story video series.


Thanks to the Wildland LLC for this great resource.
