New Free Fire/EMS Response to Civil Unrest Program Available
 
The Firefighters Support Foundation's (FSF) newest free training program, Fire/EMS Response to Civil Unrest, is now available.  Civil unrest events are becoming more prevalent and FD and EMS units are playing a greater role in responding to them.  This program consists of a 40-minute video program and an accompanying 46-slide PowerPoint program. Firefighters and EMTs can view the video material with the PowerPoint file acting as their hard copy notes, or they can use either resource independently. Simply go to www.ffsupport.org to download your free copy. 
 
 The program covers:

Types of events
Dispatch issues
Body armor
The effects of alcohol
Coordination with other agencies and the police
Approach strategies
The potential for violence
The NFPA mandate
Lessons learned from previous events
Why no jurisdiction is too small
Proven tactics
 
The PowerPoint and video portions of the program can be used by any agency or member either as-is, or as a basis from which to construct training modules or presentations of their own. Simply go to www.ffsupport.org to download your free copy.
