  2. LEADERSHIP OBJECTIVES/APPROACH: • Provide the Opportunity for Company Officers to Lead Their Crew and to Apply Their Knowledge/Experience/Judgment & Training. • Be as General in your Guidance as Conditions Allow. • Observe and Listen. • Measure Them and Allow Them to Measure You. • Our Actions & Behavior Communicate Far More About Us than Words. • Walk the Walk, Talk the Talk. • Effective Leaders Practice Patience, Persistence & Presence. Instill Confidence Up and Down • Share the Hardship Share the Danger. • Challenge Them Encourage Them. • Allow Them to Learn and Adapt. • Taking Care of Them Means Preparing Them.

  3. DECISION MAKING • Shape Your Thinking, Preparations and Planning in Time and Space So That at the Point of Decision, it is Already Made. • Visualize/Analyze/Internalize. • Prioritize Probabilities/Possibilities/Realities. • Anticipate. Worst Case Fire Behavior. • Compare Your Estimates with Locals/Others. • Actions Ahead, During, After. • Think Beyond the Fire. • Seek the Initiative. Exercise Initiative.

  4. SOME OBSERVATIONS • Big Deal Made of Mission Canyon in Incident and Group Briefings. • Evacuations in Place. Numerous Residents Defied. • Hundreds of Resources Assigned to Defensive Structure Protection. • Relatively Few Resources Assigned to Offensive Fire Attack. • Direction/Strong Inference to Minimize Structure Prep Actions Unless Fire Imminent. • Group Resources Intermixed With Divisional Resources. • Adjoining Type III Strike Team Pulled Out of Key Area at Noon.

  5. LESSONS LEARNED/REINFORCED • Do not Allow Crews to Chase Spot Fires Associated With Intensified Fire Behavior or an Approaching Fire Front. The Closer the Fire, The Tighter the Crew. • Structure Prep Activities Greatly Increase Effectiveness and Reduce Risk. Commit to It and Do It Early When and Where You Can. • Keep Your Trainee and Staff Assistant Close. They Need To Know to Watch You! • Staying Put is a Good Thing. • Expect to be on Your Own. • Time and Timing are BIG!!

  6. CONSEQUENCES-MY BAD • I Should Been More Detailed in my PFP on Holly Rd. • Alignment/Risk/Actions • Pool • I Contemplated the Move of 35’s Too Long • Tight High Risk Location • Left Hole Below • Time Compression • Crews Split/Too Spread Out • Water Problem • Property Loss • I Bought in to Not Pre-Treating Structures Early

  7. THE CREWS The Officers, Engineers and Firefighters of E10, E11, E14, E35 & E37 Performed with Unwavering Courage and Commitment in The Highest Traditions of This Department During This Incident. Their Actions Directly Saved Lives and Millions of Dollars in Property Loss. It Was a Privilege to Be With Them
