I am a civilian, and I have volunteered for CERT, and cross training for this kind of thing was available which I was not aware of. If you live in a large enough metro area, apparently there are all kinds of drills and training you can be a part of that the city, county, and state partner up on sometimes.
I did some basic disaster triage and various levels of fire extinguishing stuff. Learned the codes and symbols and stuff to write on walls that the first responders would know how to read if we were the first people to scout the neighborhoods in the event of some kind of disaster. Fun simulation with simulated injuries. I did learn stuff and they gave us some basic equipment for preparedness and guides. That was a free program hosted at our local science and industry museum MOSI with people from the county fire rescue and such.
So these things happen, and are not just limited to our English speaking countries. I suspect the uploader, its only his fourth upload since 2 weeks ago. He probably found stock footage of some old training event and renamed it to fulfill some bias baloney.

I saw a video about a year ago on LiveLeak or some other site that showed a staged car-bombing on the street. People were milling around for a bit until someone in uniform came up and told them to take cover. Then a truck or car (I forget) exploded in the middle of the street and all of a sudden dozens of people came running out from cover and laid down. Immediately sirens were heard and emergency vehicles showed up. Many of the people had makeup on indicating wounds and debris.
I've looked for this video a few times since then but was never able to find it.

So where is FEMA hiding all the caskets and prison complexes?
Learned the codes and symbols and stuff to write on walls that the first responders would know how to read if we were the first people to scout the neighborhoods in the event of some kind of disaster.
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, which allows them to focus on more complex tasks. Through CERT, the capabilities to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters is built and enhanced.
Since 1993, CERT has impacted communities across the country, building essentials skills and capabilities to prepare for and respond to any disaster. There are now CERT programs in all 50 states, including many tribal nations and U.S. territories; each unique to its community but all essential to building a Culture of Preparedness.
The CERT program was designed as a grassroots initiative and specifically structured so that the local and state program managers have the flexibility to form their programs in the way that best suits their communities. CERT volunteers are trained to respond safely, responsibly, and effectively to emergency situations, but they can also support their communities during non-emergency events as well. There are over 2,700 local CERT programs nationwide, with more than 600,000 individu

Yes, I understand it could be some kind of training drill. I don't know if it is or isn't, but it's suspicious given the recent talk of a false flag chemical attack being planned.
For anyone who isn't aware, Russia had recently brought forth claims that Syrian rebels were in the process of staging a (another) false flag chemical attack to blame on Assad. HERE is a thread I created on that. Today RT reported that the filming of actors has begun.
Moscow has repeatedly warned that a false flag chemical weapon attack was being prepared in Idlib, giving the US and its allies justification to attack Syrian government forces.
Several Middle East TV channels and a US news channel have been sent to Jisr al-Shughur in Syria’s Idlib Governorate to produce the footage

I just came across this video. See for yourself. I'd recommend that people download and save the video, because I have a feeling it will be removed from Youtube - especially since Youtube suddenly terminated the accounts of several Syrian media outlets 2 days ago, probably in preparation to prevent people from seeing footage exactly like this.

I used to work next to a place that had these first responder drills. The first time I saw it I wasn't sure what the hell was going on. I seen many after and I would agree that this is what it appears to be. Although I wouldn't necessarily doubt a possible false flag attack could occur in Syria. I wouldn't assume this footage is related to a false flag attack. If there is an attack I will be skeptical but not because of this footage.
