[…] In other words, it all began with a set of recommendations associated with first-generation fires, which were complemented by standards in the second generation. In response to third-generation fires, the compendiums of standards and recommendations were simplified into an easy-to-apply protocol for operational teams: LACES and its subsequent developments. But when faced with the challenges of fourth- and fifth-generation fires, we are no longer talking about protocols; we are applying a change in concept.
This new approach represents a change in the way fire safety is addressed. Raúl Quílez’s book, as a compilation of knowledge on fire safety, not only allows us to explore this field, but also to delve deeper into the evolution of wildfire safety. Faced with the growing uncertainty of fires that exceed the suppression capacity of our organisations, the response cannot simply be to increase safety regulations, protocols, and the quality of PPE.

Description
This compilation of knowledge and experience is a major step in this direction. It allows us to reduce uncertainty, develop strategies and tactics that facilitate operations within known scenarios, and avoid accumulating doubts within operational units regarding their safety. The benefits of this evolution in knowledge fall on those working on the front line, while the structures of our organisations must take responsibility for understanding that safety in wildfire operations depends on safe working environments, tactical planning based on certainty, and strategies designed with this objective in mind—not solely to resolve the emergency as quickly as possible.
Authors: Raúl Quílez Moraga, Enrique Mérida Bautista.
