A group of paramedics and EMTs are training to provide better care when there's an active threat. After 1 October, paramedics and EMTs quickly realized there new kinds of threats they need to prepare for. That's what the Tactical Emergency Casualty Care Course by Community Ambulance is all about. Dozens of first responders joined the weekend-long training. Daniel Webster, is an advanced EMT. "I spent six years in the army as an army medic so I have a little bit of background with this. After the 1 October attack I felt it would definitely be a good idea to refresh everything and learn the differences military vs civilian health care." The course based on military combat trauma care teaches emergency medical practitioners how to care for patients to decrease preventable deaths when there's an active threat.
