The fact that Nerikes Fire Brigade had previously practiced events involving ongoing deadly violence was crucial, and the personnel acted in accordance with established routines.
Mattias Larsson, who was the duty rescue chief at the time of the incident, believes that they need to practice even more in similar situations, particularly in cooperation with the police, and that the routines need to be sharpened.
In these really stressful situations when the organizations are heavily loaded, to then have the ability to lift one's gaze, that requires quite a lot of practice, he says to P4 Örebro.
The evaluation, which was carried out by Räddningstjänst Dala Mitt and Storstockholms Fire Brigade, has partly examined Räddningsregion Bergslagen's superior leadership during the incident, cooperation with the police and healthcare in the joint command center, as well as the work on site at Risbergska school.
The cooperation between the different blue-light operations is deemed to have functioned well, largely thanks to a joint command center, however, the report also highlights that clearer routines are required to strengthen the leadership organization of the rescue service during such incidents. Furthermore, they need to be better equipped with medical supplies to take care of life-threatening bleeding.
