In 2011 the Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center (LLC) received an email from a helicopter crewmember. This crewmember had a story and a few lessons to share about loading external baskets.
As the LLC staff thought about what to do with this story and its lessons, a conversation about a new tool began to unfold. It was decided the wildland fire service needed a format to capture and communicate simple lessons for quick distribution. “Rapid” was a key focus due to the long timeframes associated with the publishing of typical reviews (FLAs, SAIs, etc.).
This new tool became known as “Rapid Lesson Sharing” (RLS).
The RLS continues to grow in use and scope, yet the elements of an RLS remain simple:
- What happened?
- What are the lessons?
The original intent remains: capture lessons succinctly and share them as quickly as possible.
