Fire as a weapon.
Some basic points from my recent training session that some wanted me to share. Aside from a singular Burn Mass Casualty Incident, fire may be used as a ruse to stack first responders into tradition response only for the malevolent threat to conduct an unsuspecting ambush attack.
• All members of your fire or paramedic teams must conduct an assessment on the way to the call to form… Moreulate if any anomalies exist
• Consider ingress and egress to the site and any vulnerabilities. Identify an emergency evacuation to fit various ambush attacks
• Consider advantageous ambush points for an aggressor
• All first responders should understand the differences between “cover” and “concealment”. Immediately identify cover at all calls
• Consider ambush attacks may take the form of a low signature attack (edged weapon) firearm, explosive, or vehicular attack Less
