Abstract

In this case study, I explore the challenges associated with writing a detailed and insightful ethnography whilst simultaneously maintaining organization and participant anonymity. The case study is based on my personal research experiences of conducting a multi-sited ethnographic study with three fire and rescue services and an independent fire training company. I reflect on the ethical dilemmas inherent in ethnographic research that requires close researcher involvement with their research participants. I put forward some strategies for writing ethnographic fieldnotes and findings that enable the researcher to balance presenting colorful insights into their research participants’ worlds whilst simultaneously maintaining participant anonymity.
