This first edition of Fire Protection Publications' Introduction to Active Shooter/Hostile Event Response defines how to establish an ASHER training program on the local level, how to conduct threat assessment of your community, how to coordinate response with other responders and how to recover from an ASHE. Ours is the only fire service training manual available on this topic.

The manual addresses NFPA 3000™, Standard for an Active Shooter/Hostile Event Response (ASHER) Program.
