Scenario-Based Active Shooter Training Course Tests Firefighters’ Decision Making Skills

What steps do firefighters take when they are simultaneously faced with an active shooter and a raging house fire? That is what this month's featured AlphaACT® FIRE training course explores.

AlphaACT® FIRE's scenario-based training course, based on the Lowell Street Incident, is available at an additional cost on the TargetSolutions platform. The training addresses a medical call in which law enforcement officers and firefighters worked together to ensure everyone's safety.

Check out this video to learn more about what the first responders faced while addressing this highly volatile situation.

In this training scenario, students will practice and improve their skills with the following:

• Sizing up an event to gain situational awareness
• Recognizing similar events to prime your understanding of what is going on
• Leveraging those similar events to gain insights into good strategy and tactics for this scenario
• Developing a strategy and tactics for the scenario event

This course works to increase firefighters' focus for active shooter situations, arson, information management and life hazards.
