Magnets
What draws us in? An open ridge that wouldn’t take much to prep? A big box burn show off roads? A house we can save? Overtime?
What repels us? An unknown crew on the IAP? Certain fuel types? Certain regions?
There are so many situations and set-ups that draw us in, just as there are a multitude of scenarios that cause us to hesitate—just like the two sides of a magnet.
What are you and your crew’s magnets? This concept can be useful when reviewing past incidents.
