Predictive Services Discussion: Most of the Southeast will have showers today with dry weather on tap for
Friday and through the weekend. The Southwest will be dry today. A storm over the weekend will bring rain and
mountain snow mainly to the north half of the Southwest Area. It will be dry and windy from eastern Colorado
south to the Texas Panhandle today, with lighter winds on Saturday.
Link to Predictive Services Outlook products.
Today's discussion is from the
Fireline Safety Category.
Taking a Nap Near the Fireline
Firefighting is often exhausting work and firefighters can find themselves needing to sleep while on the fireline. Before pausing
to rest, firefighters must weigh the following considerations:
Are lookouts posted? Discuss who that lookout can be. Can the lookout on the knob across the draw watch over you or
does it need to be your partner on the fireline alternating rest times?
Is the area free of hazards? (Falling snags or rolling materials) Discuss what you need to do to create a safe resting area.
Are you still within agency work and rest guidelines? Review what these guidelines are.
Does your crew need a break? Have they been pushed too hard? Talk about situations where you need to simply take
yourself and/or your crew off the fire for uninterrupted rest.
To reduce risks:
• Keep lookouts posted; rotate lookouts.
• Communicate crew conditions and status to supervisor or chain-of-command contact. Have firefighters discuss
ways that they find to rest on the fireline and suggestions for methods to alternate shifts for more effective
firefighting.
