Overview
The purpose of this webinar is to discuss how fire chiefs can be involved in major incidents, where they are not the primary incident commanders. For example, in an active shooter incident, law enforcement may take the lead in apprehending the shooter, but fire and EMS play an essential role in providing lifesaving aid to the wounded civilians. This webinar will help fire chiefs to plan ahead for these types of situations, cooperate in a joint response, and keep the incident scene safe for their fire and EMS personnel.
Agenda
- How can fire chiefs ensure that the needs of their departments are met during major events like active shooter incidents or mass vaccination campaigns?
- How can planning and exercises integrate fire and EMS response into the larger response to a major event like an active shooter incident?
- Are there differences between planned events (mass vaccination campaigns) and unplanned events (active shooter situations)?
- How can a fire chief best “play their role” and look after their personnel’s safety during one of these types of events?
