In the wake of this week’s active shooter incident at the Washington Navy Yard, responders now have two new resources to guide their work in preparing for active shooter events.
The two resources are part of the fire service community’s ongoing work to develop consensus around response considerations and provide tools for preparing for this growing threat. The IAFC is proud to have collaborated on both resources and urges members to review and take action as appropriate.
The Urban Fire Forum, a gathering of fire chiefs responsible for protecting some of the largest urban centers in the world, including IAFC members and leaders, also approved the Fire Service Deployment: Assessing Community Vulnerability position paper at their meeting last weekend.
