Dolan Fire learning review now available online
A Coordinated Response Protocol team, including a Learning Review Team, performed support and organizational learning after employees of the Los Padres National Forest, Region 5, suffered catastrophic injuries and damage occurred to forest structures during the Dolan Fire in September 2020. The fire grew extremely quickly overnight and encroached on occupied buildings, leading to multiple employees getting trapped and several getting injured when the wildfire overtook their buildings and position. The narrative of that event and the lessons learned can be found on the Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center public-facing website. (Website is currently being replaced with an updated version.)
