In the summer of 2020, the LUF Think Tank convened to examine vexing challenges that fire departments navigate when conducting fire and emergency operations during periods of civil unrest. The working group identified emerging trends and vulnerabilities in current tactical/operational approaches. The white paper documents the key ideas, concerns and actionable recommendations that align with the asymmetric nature of fire and emergency operations during civil unrest.
In the spring of 2017, Leadership Under Fire (LUF) in partnership with GRA Maven hosted a Complex Attack Think Tank in Columbus, Ohio. The purpose of the two-day think tank was to examine the complex attack threat and identify operational and tactical procedures currently used by the fire service that may not align with the complex attack threat.
