• Annual incident review summaries providing wildland fire lessons condensed into manageable excerpts and actionable follow-up exercises for wildland firefighter training and discussions.
• “Two More Chains” quarterly newsletter.
• The Wildland Fire LLC blog.
• Data Points, a new series that summarizes clusters of similar events (recurring lessons) and provides a specific call to action, empowering fire leaders at all levels to take proactive measures based on the experience of others.
• The functionality to sign up to receive email updates from the Wildland Fire LLC and be notified when new content is posted to the site.

The Wildland Fire LLC is a knowledge resource center for the entire wildland fire community, sharing in-the-field lessons drawn from successes, challenges, close calls and firefighter fatalities to increase safety.
