The wildland fire service approach to taking care of people encompasses mind, body, and spirit. Because duty can take our people into dangerous situations, fire leaders reciprocate their loyalty by looking out for their safety and well-being in all circumstances.
Leaders learn about people as individuals, developing an understanding of what motivates them and how they derive satisfaction from their work. We consider how stress and fear can affect our people’s well-being and take steps to understand and mitigate the effects of these human factors.
