Origins by Brad Mayhew

The Yarnell Hill Fire (2013) took nineteen firefighters from the Granite Mountain Hotshot Crew. This accident was the tragedy of our generation. Seven years later, how much has the fire service learned?  Not much.  We can change this. And we will.  The expedition starts here.  Origins is the first book in a series that will transform how you lead and how you learn.
