Bomb Threat SOPs
I'm looking for any departments that have a SOG or SOP on the handling of bomb threats. We do not have anyone trained in explosives (nor wants any). I'm wanting to locate something that says we put out the fires and pick up the pieces afterwards, not that we go in and search and clear the building.
Thanks
Thanks

We run an engine and have a tanker on stand-by at the station. No lights or sirens. No radio communications once on scene and we usually stage 2 or 3 blocks away from the suspected "bomb". PD does the rest. They have a bomb sniffing dog that they call in. Once it is clear, PD lets us head back to station.

We call any hazardous devices threat calls a code 100. Our SOP is to stage a minimum of a block away and let the PD and the State Police Hazardous Devices UNit (aka the bomb squad) clear the building.
Until it goes KaBoom.. it is a PD issue.
