1957 Report of Fire Task Force to the Chief
This 1957 report was submitted to the Chief of the Forest Service by a task force including W.R. Moore, V.A. Parker, C.M. Countryman, L.K. Mays, and A.W. Greeley. This report marks the origin of the 10 Standard Firefighting Orders, 18 Watchout Situations and of the research into and use of fire behavior knowledge in wildland firefighting. This report was also a milestone in the development of both the Incident Command System (ICS) and National Advanced Resource Technology Center (NARTC). NARTC has since evolved into the National Advanced Fire and Resource Institute (NAFRI).
