Return Reference	Explanation
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	THE EXEMPT PURPOSE OF THE FIREFIGHTERS SUPPORT FOUNDATION IS TO ASSIST FIREFIGHTERS AND RESCUE PERSONNEL PERFORM THEIR JOBS EFFECTIVELY AND SAFELY, AID UNDERFUNDED AGENCIES, ASSIST FAMILIES OF FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS IN THEIR GREATEST TIME OF NEED AND TO HELP PREVENT FIRES AND FIRE INJURIES THROUGH PUBLIC AWARENESS. WE ACCOMPLISH THIS MISSION THROUGH FOUR PROGRAM SERVICES AREAS. (1) TRAINING DEVELOPED WITH LEADING EXPERTS AND AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE FREE OF CHARGE TO HELP INCREASE THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF FIREFIGHTERS AND RESCUE PERSONNEL. (2) FIRE AND EMS EQUIPMENT GRANT PROGRAM PROVIDES CASH GRANTS FOR DEPARTMENTS TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT TO IMPROVE SERVICE PERSONNEL AND CITIZEN SAFETY. (3) SURVIVOR FINANCIAL GRANT PROGRAM PROVIDES CASH GRANTS TO FAMILY SURVIVORS OF FIREFIGHTERS WHO HAVE DIED IN THE LINE-OF-DUTY. (4) PUBLIC FIRE SAFETY AWARENESS TO EDUCATE FAMILIES ABOUT IMPORTANT STEPS THEY CAN TAKE TO PREVENT FIRES AND IMPROVE THEIR SAFETY IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE.

FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 2	FIREFIGHTERS SUPPORT FOUNDATION DISTRIBUTED 1000 DVDS FOR FREE AT THE 2014 JEMS (EMS) CONFERENCE, WITH THE FOLLOWING 4 PROGRAMS ON IT: -MASS SHOOTINGS: PLANNING & RESPONSE -MASS CASUALTY EMERGENCY CARE -ACTIVE SHOOTER RESPONSE -WHEN A CHILD DIES ON A CALL FIREFIGHTERS SUPPORT FOUNDATION DISTRIBUTED 1000 DVS FOR FREE AT THE FDIC CONFERENCE, WITH THE FOLLOWING 4 PROGRAMS ON IT: -ACTIVE SHOOTER RESPONSE -HURRICANE PLANNING FOR SMALL AND MID-SIZE AGENCIES -MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES FOR PUBLIC SERVICE AGENCIES -LEADERSHIP FOR PUBLIC SERVICE AGENCIES FIREFIGHTERS SUPPORT FOUNDATION PRODUCED SEVEN VIDEO TRAINING PROGRAMS: ICS: RIGHTSIZING FOR EACH EVENT ADDRESS THE MISCONCEPTIONS SURROUNDING ICS: IT'S TOO BIG, TOO COMPLICATED, TOO CUMBERSOME, UN-NECESSARY, AND SO ON. IT DEMONSTRATES THE PRACTICALITY, ADVANTAGES, AND NECESSITY OF ICS AT ALMOST EVERY SCENE AND EVENT, FROM THE SMALLEST TO THE LARGEST. IT SHOWS HOW ICS CAN SCALE TO ANY SIZE, AND DEMONSTRATES THE BENEFITS TO ALL RESPONDING PERSONNEL OF SO DOING. THE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF A 40-MINUTE VIDEO PRESENTATION AND AN ACCOMPANYING 34-SLIDE POWERPOINT. THE PRESENTER IS AUGUST VERNON, THE WELL-KNOWN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TRAINER. RESPONSE TO GUNFIRE-TACTICS WHEN SHOT AT OR WORKING AT BALLISTIC SCENES SADLY, FIRE FIGHTERS AND OTHER EMERGENCY RESPONDERS ARE NOW MORE FREQUENTLY FIRED UPON IN THE COURSE OF THEIR DUTIES. THEY ARE ALSO BEING CALLED UPON TO RESPOND TO SCENES WITH ON-GOING BALLISTIC THREATS SUCH AS ACTIVE SHOOTER EVENTS. THIS PROGRAM ADDRESSES THE TYPES OF GUNFIRE EVENTS THAT FIRST RESPONDERS MAY FIND THEMSELVES AT, WHAT THEIR ACTIONS SHOULD BE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES, AND WHAT TO DO WHILE WAITING FOR SWAT TO ARRIVE ON-SCENE. ALSO COVERED IS INTEGRATING WITH AN ARMED LAW ENFORCEMENT ESCORT TEAM SO AS TO ATTEND TO DOWNED VICTIMS. THE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF A 40-MINUTE VIDEO PRESENTATION AND AN ACCOMPANYING 48-SLIDE POWERPOINT. THE PRESENTER IS THE COMMANDER OF A VERY ACTIVE STATE POLICE SWAT TEAM WHO HAS RESPONDED TO HUNDREDS OF EVENTS WHERE FIRE SERVICE AND EMS PERSONNEL HAD TO WORK IN CONCERT WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. HE HAS TRAINED HUNDREDS OF FIRE FIGHTERS AND OTHER FIRST RESPONDERS TO INTEGRATE WITH ARMED LAW ENFORCEMENT ESCORT TEAMS. WHERE'S THE CAVALRY? INITIAL MANAGEMENT OF A STRUCTURE FIRE WITH LIMITED MANPOWER ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS OF VOLUNTEER AND COMBINATION DEPARTMENTS THAT, OF NECESSITY, OFTEN HAVE SKELETON CREWS INITIALLY RESPONDING TO FIRES. WHETHER THESE INITIAL RESPONDERS ARRIVE WITH APPARATUS OR NOT, THERE ARE USEFUL TASKS THAT THEY CAN PERFORM UNTIL ADDITIONAL APPARATUS AND PERSONNEL ARRIVE. THE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF A 30-MINUTE VIDEO PRESENTATION AND AN ACCOMPANYING 31-SLIDE POWERPOINT. THE PROGRAM IS PRESENTED BY COMBINATION DEPARTMENT CHIEF SCOTT ALDERMAN, A PAST PRESIDENT OF THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE FIREMEN'S ASSOCIATION. NEURAL-BASED LEARNING FOR FIRE FIGHTERS IS A UNIQUE PROGRAM, DETAILING FOR THE FIRST TIME SEVERAL TECHNIQUES BASED ON ADVANCED IN NEURO-SCIENCE THAT CAN IMMEDIATELY ENHANCE A FIRE FIGHTERS PERFORMANCE UNDER EXTREME STRESS. THE PRESENTER IS MARCUS WYNNE, THE WORLD'S FOREMOST TRAINING DESIGNER FOR HIGH-STRESS OCCUPATIONS. HE INTRODUCED JOHN BOYD'S OODA LOOP TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY, BROUGHT NEURO-LINGUISTIC-PROGRAMMING INTO MILITARY COMBATIVES, AND EVOLVED A CUTTING EDGE TRAINING PROTOCOL THAT EMBEDS STRESS INOCULATION WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF ACCELERATED LEARNING. HE IS A MILITARY VETERAN OF THE US ARMY'S 82D AIRBORNE AND A FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT VETERAN WHO SERVED WITH THE FEDERAL AIR MARSHAL PROGRAM. HE'S TAUGHT AT FLETC AND HUNDREDS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND MILITARY ACADEMIES; HIS WORK HAS BEEN ADOPTED AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL IN SOUTH AFRICA, SWEDEN, AND NORWAY. HE CONTINUES HIS RESEARCH IN CONSULTATION WITH DARPA, NASA, NAVAL RESEARCH AND OTHER CUTTING EDGE MILITARY RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS HERE AND ABROAD. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HE HAS COMMITTED SOME OF HIS MATERIAL TO VIDEO. FIVE TECHNIQUES ARE DEMONSTRATED IN REAL TIME IN THIS 36-MINUTE VIDEO PRESENTATION: INCREASING PERIPHERAL VISION, USING KINESTHETIC AWARENESS TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, VISUALIZATION SKILLS, MISTAKE MITIGATION, AND STRESS BREATHING ("RESET BREATHING"). EACH OF THESE TECHNIQUES CAN BE USED BY THE VIEWER IMMEDIATELY AFTER WATCHING THE PROGRAM. ACTIVE SHOOTER: RAPID RESPONSE AND TREATMENT MODEL, OPERATIONAL DETAIL AND RAPID RESPONSE AND TREATMENT MODEL - THE TEN TOP QUESTIONS THE RAPID RESPONSE & TREATMENT MODEL. DEVELOPED AND DE-BUGGED IN SEVERAL LARGE-SCALE SIMULATIONS, THIS HILLSBORO, OR-DEVELOPED RESPONSE MODEL IS THE ONLY PRACTICAL MODEL TO ADDRESS THE MAIN CONCERN AT MOST ACTIVE SHOOTER EVENTS: GETTING THE WOUNDED TO DEFINITIVE CARE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WE THOROUGHLY BELIEVE THAT THE R2TM MODEL WILL BE THE STANDARD ACTIVE SHOOTER RESPONSE MODEL NATION-WIDE IN A FEW YEARS. THE CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATION FOR THE R2TM IS THAT THE SHOOTER IS USUALLY DEAD OR KILLS HIMSELF WHEN LAW ENFORCEMENT ARRIVES ON-SCENE. THE MAIN PROBLEM AT MOST OF THESE RAPID MASS MURDER SCENES IS GETTING AID TO THE WOUNDED AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, WITHOUT WAITING FOR THE "ALL CLEAR", WHILE KEEPING EMS PERSONNEL SAFE. THE R2TM BORROWS TWO EASILY IMPLEMENTED CONCEPTS FROM THE MILITARY-THE FORWARD OPERATING BASE AND THE CASUALTY COLLECTION POINT -- TO ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL. THE PROGRAM IS PRESENTED BY R2TM MODEL DEVELOPERS, SERGEANT CRAIG ALLEN OF THE HILLSBORO POLICE DEPARTMENT AND ENGINEER JEFF GURSKE OF THE HILLSBORO FIRE DEPARTMENT. IT CONSISTS OF A 60-MINUTE VIDEO PRESENTATION AND AN ACCOMPANYING 26-SLIDE POWERPOINT. VIEWERS SHOULD WATCH THE EARLIER INTRODUCTORY PROGRAM FIRST TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS ONE. RAPID RESPONSE AND TREATMENT MODEL - THE TEN TOP QUESTIONS IS A 30-MINUTE / 26-SLIDE PRESENTATION ANSWERING THE TOP TEN QUESTIONS THAT SERGEANT ALLAN AND ENGINEER GURSKE GET DURING THE MANY CALLS THEY FIELD EVERY WEEK. QUESTIONS ANSWERED INCLUDE: DOES LAW ENFORCEMENT TRIAGE PATIENTS?, HOE DO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRE/EMS WORK IN THE CASUALTY COLLECTION POINT?, WHERE DOES R2TM FIT INTO ICS?, WHAT ADDITIONAL RESOURCES DOES R2TM REQUIRE?, HOW ABOUT SMALL AGENCIES?, AND SEVERAL MORE. VENTILATION: EAST COAST & WEST COAST; TRICKS OF THE TRADE ADDRESS THE DIFFERENCES IN VENTILATION TECHNIQUE BETWEEN THE EAST AND WEST COAST, AND PROVIDES SOME "TRICKS OF THE TRADE" FOR MORE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE APPLICATION OF TECHNIQUES FROM BOTH COASTS. THE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF A 20- MINUTE VIDEO PRESENTATION, INCLUDING DISCUSSION AND DEMONSTRATIONS, AND AN ACCOMPANYING 20-SLIDE POWERPOINT. THE TURN-KEY PROGRAM IS IDEAL FOR BOTH IN-SERVICE AND ACADEMY INSTRUCTION. COVERED TOPICS INCLUDE: VENTILATION CONSIDERATIONS, ROOF TYPE AND CONSTRUCTION, DIFFERENCES IN TOOLS AND APPROACHES BETWEEN THE EATS AND WEST COAST, AND TACTICS FOR ENHANCING YOUR VENTILATION TECHNIQUE. THE PRESENTER IS ENGINEER ABRAHAM MADRIGAL, AN PROFESSIONAL FIRE FIGHTER WITH THE HILLSBORO, OR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND AN INSTRUCTOR WITH UNIFIRE AND SEVERAL OTHER FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTION ORGANIZATIONS.
