Targeting first responders was already a common strategy in the bombing runs of WW2, used by both sides.

This was a reason why bombers attacked in multiple waves.

While historians tend to disagree (rightly IMHO) with the severity of the Dresden Bombings, as reported by Kurt Vonnegut (WWII POW @Dresden)... it was definitely a disgraceful targeting-of-civilians, by Allied Forces, for the sake of demonstrating Power, alone.

Complete and utter devastation, no survivor left unravaged.
