Firearms Awareness for EMS Providers

Firearms Awareness for EMS Providers by Hugh Greenbaum addresses a critical but often underrepresented aspect of scene safety: the presence of firearms and weapon‑related risks encountered during routine EMS responses. Greenbaum approaches the topic from a situational awareness and risk‑mitigation perspective, emphasizing that firearms awareness is not about tactical training or weapon use, but about recognizing hazards, maintaining provider safety, and making informed operational decisions in unpredictable environments.
