These events are as follows: • Entrapment of a fire support truck driver and passenger on the Warm Lake Road; • Decision by the incident management team (IMT) to stay at the incident command post (ICP) location as the fire burned around the ICP; • Decision by the IMT to remain at the ICP location during the smoke-filled days following the fire burning around the camp. This report tells the story from the perspective of the review team and examines the social and organizational causes that led to the decisions and their outcomes. Since the review included an entrapment incident, the Forest Service Washington Office delegated authority for the review to the Intermountain Regional Forester. The Regional Forester identified a review team and asked them to follow the Accident Prevention Analysis process while meeting the following objectives: • Enable the reader of your report to understand the situation, the decisions that were made, and why they were made; • With the input of those involved and the expertise of your team, articulate the organizational and cultural factors that led to unintended outcomes; and • Based on your analysis of these events, recommend actions that you believe will enhance the safety and reliability of our organization in the future. -

Approval of Agenda: The Chair opened the meeting at 1:38 p.m. and introductions were made around the room. The agenda was approved without changes. II. Approval of June 20, 2018 Minutes: Matt Benedict moved to approve the June 20, 2018 minutes. Ken Wiegand seconded the motion; all were in favor and the minutes were approved without changes. III. Fire District Community Engagement: The fire districts have been very busy with community engagement activities this year. Red, White and Blue has performed 215 voluntary individual structure evaluations to date, compared to 74 last year. Matt Benedict has spoken to approximately 400 people at HOA meetings, with requests for presentations still coming in. The district has helped to establish more Firewise neighborhoods than in previous years and has distributed 60 new reflective signs. The Town of Blue River installed five new cisterns and plans to install seven more next year; an additional two are under construction near Hoosier Pass. With new mutual aid agreements in place between fire districts, Red, White & Blue has sent firefighters to five fires on mutual aid, and crews have spent 11 weeks outside the county. The wildfires in Northern Colorado this season have been significant in that many are occurring in spruce/fir forests, and several have flared up again after a short monsoon season.
