This week on RideAlong: EMT School, we’re talking terrorism, active threats, and what EMTs need to understand when an emergency scene may still be dangerous. Mike, Max, and Jonathan walk through domestic and international terrorism, CBRNE incidents, warning signs, responder safety, secondary devices, mass-casualty considerations, decontamination, and the EMT’s role during some of the most complex incidents imaginable.

We also talk through recent experiences on the ambulance, why motivation matters less than the hazards facing responders, how terrorism overlaps with HazMat and MCI operations, and why tactical medicine and additional training can help providers prepare for low-frequency, high-consequence events.
