This regional training event provides attendees with the opportunity to learn from fire service trainers and thought leaders from across the American fire service. Offered in a limited-seating format, participants can interact and engage in the forum to understand how the messages relate to their individual or departmental needs. Tactics, training, and leadership: There's something to help everyone become more aggressively effective.

Responding to Scenes of Violence
Fires, EMS calls, hazardous material incidents, and technical rescue calls can be challenging in their own right. The introduction of violence and aggressive actors as critical factors creates an entirely new complexity that few are equipped or adequately trained to mitigate. This discussion will highlight actions for agencies and personnel to consider in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from scenes of violence. This will include perspectives from strategic, tactical, and task-level positions. Single-unit response through multi-agency mass casualty incident management will be examined. The training will span a wide range, from maintaining awareness and scene safety at a single-unit medical call to civil disturbance firefighting strategies and common-sense triage in response to an active shooter incident. Challenges to anticipate, pre-incident action planning strategies, and recommendations for training solutions, all designed to enhance response posture, will be presented. From the new hire to the senior leader, everyone will benefit from this training opportunity.
