Re: Any UK Police, Firefighter or Paramedic out there?
For the second time I saw a Federal Protective Services car with Homeland Security on the side, hmmm...interesting indeed. We have done some mass casualty bio/terror attack training with contained suits with positive pressure filtered air pupmps. Man does that stink. Can't do too much with those gloves and your can only be in suits for 20-30 minutes, then you drop from heat. Homeland security spent $10k to buy my squad suits, we had them less than 1 year, then they gave us a second set-all the hoods were broken in the first. then we had those a month and they told us the filters were not good enough, don't use them. $20k of junk. Glad I pay taxes! Other than that, no specific training for civil unrest. they have had panels for Bird Flu pandemic, said exepect us to lose 30% of our workers. But the professional I have talked to said the only way it could cross over is if it was assisted. Hmm...interesting again. These people are not conspiracy theorists, just educated.
