Delmar Firefighter Jackson Vickers attended Active Assailant Training

Wednesday, October 18, 2023

On October 18th, Delmar volunteer Firefighter Jackson Vickers began his participation in the C3 Pathways Active Shooter Incident Management - Advanced (ASIM-A) course. The course was hosted by Sussex County EMS and held at the Delaware State Fire School Dover Campus. Twenty different police, fire, and EMS agencies from across Delaware and Maryland participated in the training.

Active Shooter Incident Management Advanced is a 3-day comprehensive course using the ASIM Checklist integrated response process. Eleven full-scale exercises utilize the multi-responder NIMSProTM 3D virtual reality simulator that places everyone in the middle of the action.

Participants are trained to integrate and manage a multi-discipline response to a full range of Active Shooter and hostile event threats, including Complex Coordinated Attack (CCA).

The course is appropriate for all ranks of law enforcement, fire, EMS, and dispatch. The course provides hands-on incident management experience for street responders and leaders alike.

Instructors utilize a no-fault, no-embarrassment coaching style to conduct live training with up to 60 students. Exercises include attacks at a train station, school, airport, mall, courthouse, and cruise terminal. Scenarios include active shooter events, suspect at large, reunification, Complex Coordinated Attack (CCA), IEDs, and hostage barricade.

Thanks Jackson for taking your time to train on a very serious and important topic.
