1 Narrative from Writer/Editor detail: My fireblog has a discussion and some responses: hop to link with embeded video at : From the blog: The low resolution quality of the production (in certain segments) was unavoidable where the dpi (dots per inch) of the source imagery was 72. I feel the truth of the images is the in situ authenticity of shots taken on the run, with phone cameras and small, portable digitals pulled out of packs chucked around in all types of fire rigs: cameras dusty from the grimy work that is inherent in firefighting. DJ Cam, French hip-hop artist, authorized limited use of his cut "Success", ' D J Cam Revisited' (2005). While I am a total fan of this artist, I chose this music for two reasons: it is of a genre that a lot of firefighters listen to on their iPods off-shift and the message of the jam is eXactly aligned with incident command system practices. "Learn from your mistakes, learn from your success, that's how you do best." It was my expectation that some of the older guard would not enjoy the hip-hop style, however, I thought if they could hear through the music to the message they might be... less annoyed. With the emphasis on In reviewing some of the commentary forwarded to me from the forest Public Affairs Officer , I feel pleased that the video provoked strong sentiment either very liked or very disliked emphatically. Such a response is a complement, I prefer passion to mediocrity. Viva! Andele! The video can be viewed online in a highly pixelated youtube version at: Running time is 9 minutes.

Teams within the Incident Management System continually evaluate all units on fire incidents. By evaluation in After Action Reviews, teams assess what worked, what didn't work, and how they could have worked better. Incident Management Teams continue to provide a proven successful organizational tool for coordinating wildfire and other emergency personnel in catastrophic events. Much was learned for the fatalities at Mann Gulch, as well as, other firefighter fatalities. These lessons are summarized in the 18 Watch Out situations and the 10 Firefighting Orders. These guidelines are the foundation of safety and situational awareness in wildland fire. The following website is one of many which provides information about the Mann Gulch Fire and a virtual visit to the Memorial. Please take a moment to honor all members of the Mann Gulch crew, as well as, all firefighters dedicated to wildland firefighting. http://manngulchfire.com/index.htm Fire Orders Fireline Safety If 1-9 are considered, then...
