WEBVTT 00:03.619 --> 00:05.619 So you just get a text message that 00:05.619 --> 00:07.563 there's an exercise with an active 00:07.563 --> 00:09.675 shooter here on base . So what do you 00:09.675 --> 00:11.730 do ? You go through the motions ? So 00:11.730 --> 00:13.563 they tell you to lock your doors 00:15.539 --> 00:18.110 and then turn off your lights . So now 00:18.120 --> 00:20.231 that the outside doors are locked and 00:20.231 --> 00:22.398 the lights are out , we're supposed to 00:22.398 --> 00:24.398 sit here and shelter in place . But 00:24.398 --> 00:26.620 then we think to ourselves , we're just 00:26.620 --> 00:28.620 sitting here doing nothing . What's 00:28.620 --> 00:30.398 going on and is anything really 00:30.398 --> 00:30.069 happening ? 00:36.639 --> 00:38.880 And with that security forces arrive at 00:38.889 --> 00:41.056 a pre staged scene for them to respond 00:41.056 --> 00:43.111 to an active shooter . About an hour 00:43.111 --> 00:45.167 before they arrived , members of the 00:45.167 --> 00:47.278 55th medical group were painting role 00:47.278 --> 00:49.333 players with fake wounds . Then they 00:49.333 --> 00:51.389 moved inside to smear and spray fake 00:51.389 --> 00:53.611 blood on the walls . They usually don't 00:53.611 --> 00:55.778 take part in exercises like this . But 00:55.778 --> 00:57.778 security forces were glad they were 00:57.778 --> 01:00.000 here to bring a sense of realism to the 01:00.000 --> 00:59.369 training . Any time that we get a 00:59.380 --> 01:01.750 chance to actually use fake moulage and 01:01.759 --> 01:03.759 fake blood and everything else like 01:03.759 --> 01:05.981 that , it just increases our training . 01:06.010 --> 01:08.121 We don't do that very often . So when 01:08.121 --> 01:10.066 we do , it's definitely an awesome 01:10.066 --> 01:12.177 opportunity for us to , to be able to 01:12.177 --> 01:14.680 work with them . And using SIM rounds 01:14.690 --> 01:17.180 also heightens their senses . Obviously , 01:17.190 --> 01:19.412 it's a training environment , but I try 01:19.412 --> 01:21.468 to treat it as real as possible . So 01:21.468 --> 01:23.690 the heart , heart , heart is racing and 01:23.690 --> 01:25.690 in an active shooter situation like 01:25.690 --> 01:27.968 this , obviously , listening , hearing , 01:27.968 --> 01:29.968 using all your senses , finding the 01:29.968 --> 01:29.720 threat immediately and eliminating it . 01:29.730 --> 01:32.129 Preservation of life is our number one 01:32.139 --> 01:34.083 goal here . So after the threat is 01:34.083 --> 01:36.195 eliminated off , fire department does 01:36.195 --> 01:38.361 their part by tending to the injured . 01:38.361 --> 01:40.361 He has a gunshot wound to the right 01:40.361 --> 01:42.250 upper arm , agitated and scared . 01:42.250 --> 01:44.361 Overall , it is a great collaborative 01:44.361 --> 01:46.028 effort between fire ourselves 01:46.028 --> 01:48.306 investigations , just every department . 01:48.306 --> 01:50.139 So I think the training is vital 01:50.139 --> 01:52.306 definitely and should be done as often 01:52.306 --> 01:54.083 as possible . Reporting from an 01:54.083 --> 01:56.139 undisclosed location . I'm JB Artley 01:56.139 --> 01:58.195 for the 55 Wing Public Affairs where 01:58.195 --> 01:59.285 the sun never sets on the fight in 55 .
