Our Mission
Accepting that wildland firefighting is inherently dangerous, our mission is to promote “complete” lessons learned in the wildland fire service, a quasi-military endeavor, by promoting the sacred responsibility of all supervisors as fire service warriors, to ensure the safety and welfare of those they supervise. This is realized by focusing on sound leadership; considering human factors, human errors, and human failures;the Normalization of Deviance; Swiss Cheese Model; and High Reliability Organizations.
We also strive to provide accurate, relevant, and truthful disclosures about the June 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire and Granite Mountain Hot Shot Crew fatalities and the ensuing Serious Accident Investigation Team, Serious Accident Investigation Report, and Learning Reviews and their dubious fact-finding practices and subsequent conclusions. The basic central theme is a likely rogue firing operation that occurred along the Sesame Street and Shrine Corridor area.
