The LLC will be telling their own story, but we want bring in a little more history to coincide with the bi-weekly sharing of Learning in the Wildland Service.
Congratulations to the LLC, our valued sister organization, on their 20 years of service to the wildland fire service!
LLC Logo: They are Forever Watching Over Us
We should never forget the 1994 South Canyon Fire that killed 14 wildland firefighters. This tragedy triggered the interagency TriData Firefighter Safety Awareness Study that recommended a permanent “lessons learned” program be established for wildland firefighters: Wildland Fire Safety Awareness Study Phase III.
Consequently, in 2002 the interagency Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center was created to focus on striving to improve safe work performance and organizational learning for all wildland firefighters.
The LLC continues to—through a variety of relevant products, services and community assistance—strive to meet these critical goals for this country’s wildland firefighters.
Growing to Better Serve This Country’s Wildland Firefighters
The LLC represents a core group of interagency staff members—representing decades of wildland fire experience—who are dedicated to promoting firefighter safety in all wildland fire management activities.
Since its inception in 2002, the LLC has been growing to better serve this country’s wildland firefighters, helping promote a culture of safe and effective wildland firefighter work practices and improving wildland firefighters’ learning and training networks to further enhance their knowledge and skills.
Besides making personal contacts at meetings, conferences, workshops, seminars, and wildfire academies throughout the United States, the LLC provides a popular website for wildland firefighters:
http://www.wildfirelessons.net
This site introduces and links you to a wide array of wildland firefighter-based useful and relevant information.
