Firefighter Site Collects Stories
Here's an example of a narrative database in action. Just imagine the wealth of knowledge one can mine with this. Wonderful stuff. This is KM 2.0.
It's a scene that plays out in firehouses every day: Firefighters return from a blaze or rescue call and talk about a close call that could have injured or killed someone. The International Association of Fire Chiefs wants firefighters nationwide to learn from such stories through the National Fire Fighter Near-Miss Reporting System.
The national database went online last month after the completion of a pilot program involving 38 fire departments across the country. The website lets firefighters report such incidents anonymously and without fear of punishment.
