as far as the organization goes, the fire department has been somewhat planning on a major event for an awful long time. along these lines. about 2010, we were the first organization in the country to place one of the fire captains into the fusion center. the multiagency counter terrorism fusion center. through that we built relationships and developed response plans and met the community on many different fronts and we were able to build out a program to handle the situation such as this. we were first to have a deputy chief foreseeing what was coming down the road. i promoted the deputy chief from the ranks and he does nothing with the fire anymore. this is law enforcement and executives and teams. how we integrate with that and get in and out of the properties and help you stay safe and we will talk more about that. we began training personnel. we built a policy that had never been built before. it took a long time. we developed plans and ran drills and find out what's wrong. we come back to the table and redesign it. it took us cycles to get to the format we want. it works in dril

by the fact that the fire department is standing with us is monumental. okay. so we have found it's better instead of securing a perimeter and hoping the person doesn't continue to do acts of carnage associated with their actions, that even a small police response will stop the suspect's actions. and so to answer your question in reference to mand all man du that training, we were listening and paying attention. officers on their own without direction of a supervisor knew what they had to do. they came together. formed a team, made a response, and they didn't wait on s.w.a.t. okay. they said we have to stop. it's easy to say we'll wait on s.w.a.t. they're the experts in tactical intrusion, but our officers took it upon themselves to act. >> to clarify, the officers made entry to the room? >> no, those officers evaluated floor by floor of the space between 29 and 32, where the suspect was. they formed a security. they evacuated rooms. and they formed a perimeter at the suspect's location. by unfortunate act of the suspect, a security guard was engaged during tha
