On February 26 Wildfire Today posted some of the history of the “18 Watch Out Situations”. As we explained then, they began with the “13 Situations that Shout Watch Out” in the 1960s, and evolved in 1987 into the “18 Watch Out Situations”.

Each day from March 19 through March 30 we will be posting images depicting each of the original 13 Situations that were in the “Basic 32″ wildland firefighter training program that was developed by the El Cariso Hot Shots 1972-1973.

The image above is the 7th one we have posted. It is similar to Situation #12 on the present day list of 18.
