Region 5 Medevac Comprehensive Analysis 2020

This Medevac Comprehensive Analysis was created as a follow up report to the Middle Fire Hoist Rapid Lessons Sharing (RLS) and the Lime Fire Hoist RLS at the request of the Region 5 Risk Management Specialist Mike Noel of the USDA Forest Service. This report builds on the lessons learned from the Dutch Creek incident to incorporate the new lessons captured in the 2019 RLS documents with a history of past medevacs performed in support of wildland fire incidents. This document begins to explore the question, “What should be done next?”
