Yarnell fire Briefing, https://youtu.be/iWm3myJdQO4 Noticed a pattern among Hotshot Fire crews with their handheld radio programming. It may pose a problem when an emergency breaks out on the fireline. Sort of reminds me of the Granite Mountain Hotshot crew Yarnell Hill incident where 19 firefighters lost their lives trapped by fire and radio problems was one among many other factors that contributed to this tragedy. Just an impromptu armchair quarterbacking on comms issues I see with Hotshot crews radio programming. Yarnell hill fire after action briefing. https://youtu.be/iWm3myJdQO4 disaster EMCOMM preparedness
