In my efforts to research and share what causes issues with situational awareness I have uncovered over 100\u2026 what I call\u2026 Barriers. These barriers impact a person\u2019s ability to develop and maintain situational awareness.
\nIn this episode I am going to explore the challenges of staffing as a barrier to situational awareness by sharing excerpts of interviews I conducted with expert-level fireground commanders during my doctoral research.
\nIf you are interested in reading the complete research study, the book (Fireground Command Decision Making: Understanding the barriers challenging command situation awareness) is available through the SAMatters.com store.
