This program will present and lead you through past History Repeating Events (HRE) and present leading insights and findings from pertinent case studies. NIOSH LODD Investigative Reports and After Actions Reports will be used to conduct a facilitated examination of apparent and contributing factors and to analyze and review the recommendations and actions to prevent similar events from occurring again. Elements of effective and adaptive fireground leadership and the hard lessons learned will be presented in this highly interactive program. Select case studies will be reviewed and applied to identify gaps and vulnerabilities. Lessons from the fireground resonate with recommendations and actions that all fire departments and personnel must recognize and implement in future fireground operations in order to reduce operational risks and improve incident mitigation during structure fires.
