Stay Safe This 4th of July: A Summit Response Group Public Safety Guide
As we prepare to celebrate America’s Independence Day, it’s important to remember that safety is paramount. The 4th of July is one of the most celebrated holidays in the United States, filled with fireworks, family barbecues, community events, and outdoor fun. But each year, thousands of preventable injuries, accidents, and even fatalities occur. Summit Response Group is committed to helping communities enjoy this patriotic day safely and responsibly. Here are four key areas to focus on this holiday weekend: fireworks safety, hydration, impaired driving prevention, and situational awareness.
Fireworks Safety: Handle With Caution
Fireworks are synonymous with July 4th celebrations, but they also account for a large number of injuries and fires each year. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC, 2023), an estimated 10,200 fireworks-related injuries were treated in emergency departments in 2022, with the majority occurring during the weeks surrounding the 4th of July.
Key safety tips include:
Use only legal fireworks in your state or local area.
Keep a safe distance both for lighting and for spectators.
Always supervise children around fireworks and sparklers.
Keep a hose or bucket of water nearby in case of fire or malfunction.
Never relight “dud” fireworks, and dispose of used fireworks in a bucket of water.
Improper handling of fireworks can cause burns, lacerations, eye injuries, and even death. Let’s keep the celebration fun and avoid a trip to the emergency room by taking the necessary precautions.
Hydration and Heat Safety: Beat the Summer Sun
The combination of high temperatures, outdoor activity, and alcohol consumption makes heat exhaustion and dehydration common concerns on Independence Day. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2023) warns that prolonged exposure to heat without adequate hydration can lead to heat-related illnesses such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke.
To stay safe:
Drink water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
Avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine, which contribute to dehydration.
Wear light-colored, breathable clothing and wide-brimmed hats.
Take frequent breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas.
Watch for signs of heat illness, such as dizziness, excessive sweating, nausea, or confusion.
Hydration is especially important for children, older adults, and those with chronic medical conditions who are more vulnerable to heat stress (CDC, 2023). If someone is showing signs of heatstroke confusion, no sweating, or loss of consciousness call 911 immediately.
Impaired Driving: Make a Plan Before You Celebrate
The 4th of July is consistently ranked as one of the deadliest holidays for traffic fatalities due to impaired driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA, 2022), during the 2021 July 4th holiday period, 38% of traffic fatalities involved an alcohol-impaired driver.
To prevent these tragedies:
Never drink and drive plan a safe ride home before the first drink.
Use rideshare apps, taxis, or designated drivers.
Host responsibly offer non-alcoholic beverages and help guests get home safely.
Report impaired drivers to local authorities if you see dangerous behavior on the road.
Remember: buzzed driving is drunk driving. Don’t risk your life or someone else’s by getting behind the wheel impaired.
Situational Awareness: “If You See Something, Say Something®”
With large gatherings, parades, and fireworks displays comes the need for enhanced situational awareness. Although most events are peaceful and safe, it only takes one threat to disrupt an entire community. That’s why the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign is more important than ever.
Public safety starts with all of us. Here’s how you can help:
Be alert to your surroundings in crowded areas.
Report suspicious behavior, such as unattended bags, unusual vehicles, or individuals acting oddly.
Know your exits and emergency procedures at large events.
Trust your instincts if something feels wrong, say something.
DHS (2024) emphasizes that you don’t need to know what type of threat may be occurring simply noticing something that doesn’t feel right is enough to speak up. Contact local law enforcement or event security to report concerns.
Summit Response Group: Your Partner in Community Safety
At Summit Response Group, we believe safety is everyone’s responsibility but we also know that leadership, training, and preparation make the difference. As public safety professionals, veterans, and emergency management experts, our mission is to ensure that communities are resilient, prepared, and protected.
This 4th of July, let’s honor the freedoms we enjoy by committing to responsibility and vigilance. From keeping children safe from fireworks to staying hydrated in the summer heat, to making the right choices when it comes to alcohol and driving every step you take helps protect the people around you.
We wish you and your family a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day.

Why Independent Fire and Life Safety Inspections Save You More Than Money
In today’s risk-conscious world, fire and life safety inspections are not just a box to check; they’re a vital part of responsible building management and regulatory compliance. Whether you're managing a commercial facility, educational institution, healthcare campus, or industrial site, staying ahead of fire codes and life safety standards can mean the difference between smooth operations and catastrophic loss. One of the smartest ways to ensure compliance, reduce liability, and save money long-term is by working with independent fire and life safety contractors.
The Value of Independent Inspections
Unlike inspections performed solely by local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), independent contractors offer unbiased, thorough, and proactive evaluations of a building’s fire and life safety systems. This includes inspections of:
Fire extinguishers
Emergency lighting and signage
Fire suppression systems
Alarm and detection systems
Means of egress and emergency exits
Independent inspections are driven by industry best practices, not just minimum local code requirements. This means contractors often catch deficiencies that might be missed during limited-scope AHJ visits or surface-level checks by internal maintenance teams.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), nearly one in every five non-residential structure fires is due to electrical failure or malfunction, and many others are caused by faulty or poorly maintained fire protection systems (NFPA, 2022). Routine, comprehensive inspections can prevent these risks before they become costly emergencies.
Cost-Effective Protection That Pays Off
Hiring an independent contractor may seem like an additional expense, but it’s actually a cost-saving strategy over time. Here's why:
Avoiding Penalties and Fines:
Non-compliance can result in hefty fines from local fire marshals and regulatory bodies. Independent inspectors help you fix issues before an AHJ visit, avoiding surprise violations.Preventing System Failures:
Unmaintained equipment, like emergency lighting or extinguishers, can fail during critical moments. Routine service ensures all systems operate as intended, reducing emergency repair costs.Insurance Savings:
Insurance providers may offer reduced premiums to facilities that can demonstrate consistent maintenance and inspection records from certified professionals (U.S. Fire Administration, 2021).Minimizing Downtime:
Fire code violations often lead to business interruptions. Preventive inspections minimize this risk and keep operations running smoothly.
Summit Fire and Life Safety: A Complete Inspection Partner
At Summit Fire and Life Safety, a division of Summit Response Group, we provide an integrated approach to inspection, service, and consulting. What sets us apart is not just our technical expertise, but our commitment to working before, during, and after your AHJ inspection to ensure full readiness and peace of mind.
Before the AHJ Inspection:
We offer pre-inspection walkthroughs, identify potential code violations, and provide actionable recommendations to correct deficiencies. Our proactive service reduces surprises during formal inspections and ensures you're in the best position possible.
During the Inspection:
Our team is available to represent or support your staff during the AHJ inspection, ensuring technical questions are answered and code interpretations are addressed clearly and correctly.
After the Inspection:
If any issues are flagged, we don’t leave you hanging. We help resolve violations promptly, offer re-inspection preparation, and even consult on system upgrades or redesigns to meet evolving code requirements and improve facility safety.
Our inspectors come from public safety backgrounds, including experience as fire marshals and emergency management professionals. That gives us not only deep technical knowledge but also a clear understanding of what AHJs look for, making us a trusted liaison between your facility and your local fire department.
Final Thoughts
Fire and life safety are too important to leave to chance or minimum compliance. Independent inspections from professionals like Summit Fire and Life Safety ensure you're not just checking boxes, but protecting lives, property, and your bottom line. It’s a smarter, more cost-effective way to stay compliant and prepared.

How to Protect Public Safety IT Systems from Cyberattacks
In today’s volatile cyber landscape, public safety organizations such as Fire Departments and Law Enforcement agencies are prime targets for foreign cyber adversaries. With Iran possibly looking to retaliate for the recent bombings, hacking, and disrupting public safety networks and databases could be one of their avenues of attack. The increasing reliance on digital tools, from dispatch systems to confidential investigative databases, makes these agencies vulnerable to espionage, data theft, ransomware, and operational disruptions. If you work in Cyber Security or the IT industry, stay vigilant in protecting your systems.
Why Public Safety is a Target
Foreign actors, including nation-states and their proxies, target critical infrastructure to:
· Disrupt emergency response capabilities.
· Steal sensitive operational or personal data.
· Undermine public trust in local governments.
· Leverage compromised systems for larger attacks on national infrastructure.
The 2021 ransomware attack on U.S. police departments and the 2020 SolarWinds breach demonstrate how determined foreign entities can penetrate public sector networks [1][2].
The #1 avenue for attacking Government IT infrastructure is through Phishing and Social Engineering, specifically spear-phishing emails designed to trick users into revealing credentials, clicking malicious links, or downloading malware.
Why Phishing is the #1 Threat
Numerous government and cybersecurity reports consistently identify phishing as the leading attack vector, especially for:
· Initial access to secure government systems.
· Credential theft leading to privilege escalation.
· Delivery of malware, including ransomware and remote access trojans (RATs).
Phishing exploits human error, bypassing even advanced technical defenses by targeting employees, contractors, or public officials.
Verizon 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR)
· Reports phishing as the most common initial access vector in both public and private sectors.
· Notes that government entities, especially local agencies, are disproportionately affected due to resource gaps.

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Alerts
· CISA identifies phishing as a primary method used by foreign threat actors, including nation-state groups from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.
· Phishing campaigns often mimic official communications, making them highly effective.
Source: https://www.cisa.gov/news-events
Microsoft Digital Defense Report 2023
· Highlights that over 90% of nation-state cyberattacks begin with phishing.
· Points out increasing sophistication in attacks targeting government workers, with fake login pages and business-like communications.
Source: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/microsoft-digital-defense-report
Real-World Examples
SolarWinds Attack (2020):
Although initially a supply chain attack, compromised credentials gained through phishing were used for lateral movement within U.S. government networks.
U.S. Elections Targeting (2016-2020):
Foreign entities, including Russian groups, used spear-phishing to target election officials, IT administrators, and government contractors.
While technical vulnerabilities, such as unpatched systems or exposed servers, are also exploited, phishing remains the primary attack vector for breaching government IT infrastructure. This method:
· Bypasses perimeter defenses.
· Targets individuals rather than systems directly.
· Enables credential theft, malware deployment, and long-term compromise.
Mitigation Recommendations
To defend against phishing:
· Implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across all systems.
· Conduct regular phishing awareness training for all staff.
· Deploy email filtering and threat detection tools.
· Encourage a “trust but verify” culture for unexpected emails and links.
Key Strategies to Protect Public Safety IT Systems
1. Implement Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)
Zero Trust means “never trust, always verify.” Agencies must:
· Authenticate users and devices continuously.
· Enforce least-privilege access to applications and data.
· Segment networks to limit the spread of breaches.
The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) strongly recommends Zero Trust for government and critical infrastructure systems [3].
2. Regularly Patch and Update All Systems
Foreign attackers often exploit known software vulnerabilities. Agencies must:
· Keep operating systems, applications, and firmware updated.
· Apply patches promptly, especially for vulnerabilities listed in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog [4].
3. Deploy Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Solutions
EDR tools provide:
· Real-time monitoring of devices for suspicious activity.
· Automated threat detection and response capabilities.
· Insight into attempted intrusions or malware infections.
Many foreign hacking campaigns begin with compromised endpoints, making EDR a frontline defense [5].
4. Protect Communication Systems
Voice over IP (VoIP), radio dispatch, and mobile apps are vulnerable without:
· Strong encryption for all communications.
· Secure VPN access for remote connections.
· Regular audits of telecommunication infrastructure.
The FBI has warned of foreign attempts to intercept or disrupt police communications [6].
5. Conduct Regular Cybersecurity Training
Human error is often the weakest link. Agencies should:
· Train staff to recognize phishing and social engineering attacks.
· Simulate cyber incidents to improve response readiness.
· Require strong, unique passwords with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Foreign attackers frequently target employees to gain initial access [7].
6. Collaborate with Federal Cyber Defense Programs
Fire and Law Enforcement agencies should:
· Engage with CISA’s Cyber Hygiene and vulnerability scanning services.
· Participate in the FBI’s InfraGard program for threat intelligence sharing.
· Utilize the DHS-funded Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) for alerts and technical assistance [8].
7. Secure Critical Data with Backups and Encryption
Agencies must:
· Encrypt sensitive files at rest and in transit.
· Maintain offline, immutable backups to recover from ransomware attacks.
· Implement strict controls on data access and transfer.
This is crucial to prevent the exposure of investigative records, personnel files, and operational plans.
Conclusion
Foreign cyberattacks are not abstract threats; they are a clear and present danger to the safety of communities. Fire Departments and Law Enforcement agencies play a vital role in protecting the public, and securing their IT infrastructure is essential to maintaining that mission.
By following these best practices and collaborating with trusted cybersecurity partners, public safety organizations can significantly reduce their risk of falling victim to foreign cyber aggression.

Understanding the Rising CBRN and Counterterrorism Threat: Why Your Organization Must Act Now
The Increasingly Volatile World Around Us
In today’s increasingly volatile world, the threat landscape is rapidly evolving. Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) hazards, once the exclusive concern of military planners, are now squarely in the public and private sectors’ domain. At the same time, non-state actors and terrorist groups continue to pursue unconventional means of attack, raising the stakes for agencies, businesses, and communities alike.
The Expanding Global Threat of CBRN and Asymmetric Terrorism
From chemical and biological agents to radiological and nuclear weapons, the modern CBRN environment is more dynamic and dangerous than ever. In recent years, geopolitical instability, the rise of rogue states, growing terrorist ambitions, and accelerating technological advancements have created a climate where CBRN threats are no longer hypothetical—they are imminent.
The use of chemical agents in Syria, the Novichok poisoning in the U.K., and attempted radiological weapon plots all reinforce this reality. Synthetic biology, gene editing, and poorly secured radiological sources have further lowered the barrier for nefarious actors to acquire or develop WMD capabilities (National Academies, 2018).
What’s more troubling is that while these threats are increasing, national preparedness appears to be moving in the opposite direction.
In June 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the dismantling of its Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Office, dissolving it into separate components across the agency (Global Biodefense, 2025). This move weakens centralized coordination and disperses critical responsibilities for biosurveillance, threat detection, and operational response, just when national cohesion is most needed.
As the 2022 U.S. National Security Strategy makes clear, preventing the spread and use of WMDs must remain a top priority (White House, 2022). But the elimination of the CWMD Office raises serious questions about how prepared we truly are.
The Local Impact: Why This Matters to Your Agency or Business
CBRN incidents don’t always begin on battlefields; they often begin in local hospitals, schools, transportation hubs, or private facilities with hazardous materials. If your organization isn't currently assessing its exposure to CBRN risks or preparing for terrorist threats, you're operating with a blind spot.
The United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (2023) warns that terrorist organizations are actively pursuing the tools and knowledge to exploit biological and radiological vulnerabilities. The COVID-19 pandemic, for example, revealed just how devastating a biological threat can be, causing trillions in economic damage and straining every level of public health infrastructure. We cannot afford to be reactive in the face of such danger.

Why Public Safety Consulting Is the Key to Operational Efficiency for Local Governments
Strengthening Communities Through Strategic Expertise
In an era where public safety agencies are expected to do more with less, local governments and first responder departments are under mounting pressure. Fire departments, EMS providers, and law enforcement agencies must not only meet rising service demands but also justify costly capital investments like fire apparatus, emergency vehicles, and life-saving tools, amid tightening budgets and heightened public scrutiny.
Enter public safety consulting firms like Summit Response Group, which specialize in helping agencies improve operational efficiency, secure critical funding, and plan for sustainable growth.
Helping Departments Justify Critical Investments
Acquiring a new fire engine or police vehicle is more than a procurement decision; it’s a strategic investment in community safety. But before these purchases get the green light, they must often pass rigorous scrutiny from budget boards, city councils, and elected officials.
Consulting firms like Summit Response Group bring clarity to the process by working directly with departments to craft professional presentations, detailed cost-benefit analyses, and data-backed justification reports. These materials translate technical needs into accessible, compelling cases that emphasize the impact on response times, public safety, compliance with national standards, and long-term operational readiness.
"We help departments tell their story in a way that resonates with stakeholders and the public,” says Jason Kephart, President of Summit Response Group. “That’s how we turn budget requests into community-backed investments.”
Planning for Sustainable Growth
Beyond the immediate need for new equipment, agencies must think long-term. Strategic growth planning is essential to address rising populations, expanding service areas, and aging infrastructure.
Summit Response Group provides public safety agencies with comprehensive planning support from apparatus replacement schedules and personnel projections to new station development and lifecycle budgeting. This proactive approach ensures departments are prepared not just for today’s emergencies, but for tomorrow’s challenges.
Why ISO Ratings Matter for Everyone
Another vital area where consultants add value is in improving a department’s Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating, a national benchmark that evaluates local fire protection capabilities. A lower ISO rating often translates into reduced property insurance premiums for both homeowners and businesses.
Consultants evaluate factors like staffing, water supply, apparatus deployment, and communication systems to identify gaps and recommend improvements. The result? A more efficient emergency response system and tangible financial benefits for the entire community.
“Improving your ISO score isn’t just good for the fire department—it’s good economic policy,” adds Kephart. “Better ratings lower insurance costs and demonstrate a city’s commitment to public safety and smart growth.”
A Partner in Public Safety Excellence
Summit Response Group is more than a consulting firm; it’s a trusted partner to public safety professionals across the country. With a team of experienced fire, EMS, and law enforcement experts, they provide tailored services in:
Strategic planning & operational assessments
Capital acquisition & justification
ISO improvement strategies
