Problem
Assume that you have been hired by the United States Forest Service to design a training session for fire fighters. The focus of your training session is to help fire fighters avoid individual decision mistakes that may have occurred at Mann Gulch. Provide a detailed discussion of your training session and explain how your training would overcome the individual decision biases. For example, if you think the fire fighters fell prey to the availability heuristic leading to the ease of recall bias, what would you do in your training session to help them overcome this bias? While your training session can include management and leadership topics, be sure that you specifically address problems related to the use of judgment heuristics and biases. Use specific examples from the Mann Gulch to illustrate and convey your key ideas.
