USFA Seeking Case Studies for Publication on Fire and EMS Response to Civil Unrest

The U.S. Fire Administration has commissioned a publication regarding fire and EMS response to civil unrest. The purpose of the document will be to influence the fire and EMS community to assess, improve, and manage situations dealing with civil unrest.

The publication will include the following considerations:

  • Personnel
  • Stations/facilities

  • Community
  • Response and operations
