Experience the power of post-incident reviews, or "hot washes," within the firefighting community.

We emphasize the crucial role of positive reinforcement from leadership to boost morale and reinforce good practices. You'll get detailed guidelines for conducting hot washes, including handling defensiveness and ensuring constructive feedback, fostering a productive and positive atmosphere even in tense situations.
