Synopsis "Wildland Firefighter Deaths: Is Safety Priority One"
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.
