What You Need to Know About Building Data‑Driven After‑Action Reviews

About this episode

Captain Ryan Harris discusses the importance of data-driven after-action reviews in the fire service using Fireground Analytics.

Captain Ryan Harris, a Marine veteran with more than 20 years in the fire service, joins this week's Humpday Hangout to explain Fireground Analytics. He built the cloud-based tool to make fireground events measurable and teachable. Designed to keep departments in control of their data, support national reporting workflows, and drive consistent, objective after‑action reviews, the system targets repeat errors that contribute to civilian and firefighter line‑of‑duty deaths. Harris discusses real-world use cases, integration options, and his plans to publish sample incident reviews.
