Each year, the incursion of private residences into wildlands increases the potential for the devastating loss of important natural resources and private property from wildfire. Structural and wildland firefighters are working side-by-side in a setting that is not typical of their traditional workplaces. These wildland-urban intermix fires have proven to be a special risk to the safety of the firefighters battling them. In the 1990gass alone, firefighters have been seriously injured or killed on intermix fires in Arizona, California, Utah, Kentucky, and other States. This report discusses key areas of concern for firefighter safety in the wildland-urban intermix: command and control, mix of forces, access, civilian population, personal protective clothing and equipment, and special hazards.

This book is a culmination of over five years of research that highlights the safety barriers found during the research. It makes some very hard points that many may not agree with, nor want to talk about. The federal land management agencies, firefighter associations, and other have been less than willing to discuss these issue, but they think they know it all. No outsider is going to tell them how to do their business. Yet when you look at the 103 year history of the USFS and the amount of deaths from burnover and entrapment, there is clearly a problem. They never learn from their mistakes to change behaviors. You must read the whole book to fully understand the issues they face. It is well referenced and well worth the read. Some may get mad about what it states, others may just blow it off. But is your life worth losing when others make decisions that should never be made. They'll blame you no matter what - right, wrong or indifferent. This book is well worth the money to read to get you thinking more about your safety. Safety as Priority One are hollow words that are uttered all the time. If it was true we would not have had 588 deaths from burnover and entrapment over the years. I took seven multiple death fires since 1994 and studied them in depth. You would be amazed what I found. From South Canyon to Yarnell Hill there are eerie similarities. The book is dedicated to all that have lost their lives fighting wildfire, but more importantly to the Granite Mountain Hotshots - they never had a chance.

Describes the role played by crew cohesion in the deaths of firefighters in three firefighting tragedies: the Mann Gulch Fire, the South Canyon Fire, and the Thirtymile Fire. Two types of cohesion are involved, the cohesion within a crew (intracrew cohesion) and the cohesion among crews (intercrew cohesion). Cohesion is a way of describing how closely people feel they are tied to a group. Studies of field crews in the Forest Service have shown that the less cohesion crews had, the more likely they were to be involved in accidents. Meanwhile, studies of wildland firefighter fatalities during the 1990s have shown that nearly threefourths of the fatalities occurred when fires were making the transition from relatively small to relatively large fires, or shortly after they had become relatively large fires. The transition is often sudden, when it is described as a "blow up." Driessen recommends studies that would allow the different types of transition fires to be classified. This classification system would allow crew leaders and fire managers to communicate clearly when fires are making the transition from relatively small fires to relatively large fires. The studies would also identify tactics that successful crew leaders use to build the essential level of crew cohesion when fires are in transition.
