First Friday: June 2014

As most readers of this blog know, I tend to clown around with my Friday posts. However, given this is the first Friday of the month, and that means it's time to review the top five posts for the month that's two back, I'm having a real hard time getting in the mood. In fact, I think it would be downright disrespectful when the month under review is June 2014 - the month that includes the one year anniversary of when 19 wildland firefighters lost their lives in the Yarnell Hill Fire. Furthermore, it would appear blog readers think the same thing - the two posts from that month which focus on how to improve safety in the wildland fire community - made the top five:

1. DHS Geospatial Concept of Operations is Now Online, June 5

2. Report Chides Wildland Firefighter Leadership on Deaths, June 25

3. World Bank Releases an Open Data Guide for Disasters, June 10

4. Yarnell Hill Fire - One Year Later, Changes Still Needed, June 30

5. The Revolution has Started: First Commercial Drone Flight in U.S., June 11

Rest In Peace Yarnell Hill Fire 19
