FLA = Facilitated Learning Analysis
What is an FLA? It is a mechanism for firefighters to learn from near misses, close calls and/or events of significance. Lessons learned from this process may prevent a serious accident from occurring. The FLA process is simple, expedient, and can be performed by wildland fire units across the country. The FLA guide incorporates FLA goals and objectives and is readily available for assistance in implementing this process. See how the FLA process was used in this recent event:

What does it take to conduct an effective morning briefing?
- The morning briefing is going to set the stage for how flight crews and agency personnel approach the day’s activities. If you ended the previous day flying, conduct an After Action review (AAR) of the assignment.
- Have you as a manager created an environment where participation by all personnel is encouraged?
- Are you utilizing topics from 6 Minutes for Safety, Pilot Read Files and other safety publications?
- Most importantly, are you involving pilots and base personnel in the process?
- Ask yourself this simple question; do you think a pilot, ATGS, or crewmember that has just participated in a AAR or volunteered to lead a safety discussion on a Read File topic will be better prepared for his/her first flight of the day then someone who has not?
