Last night, our firefighters received continuing EMS education on patient packaging in difficult conditions. The team practiced packaging in adverse terrain and in limited vehicle compartment space.

This morning, there was a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) DRILL involving a bus with middle school students that was involved in a motor vehicle crash with two other vehicles. The incident scenario was only a DRILL with multiple students injured. This was designed to test our emergency procedures and work alongside and learn from first responders. As part of the drill, the bus driver was unconscious and a student used the bus radio to call to say there was an accident. Our transportation office called 911 and the fire, police, and ambulance response started to arrive on scene along with our school district police and district administration to assist at the scene. During this DRILL, the EMS and fire crews called for mutual aid from other departments due to the number of people that needed medical treatment. We had parent actors who arrived on scene to attempt to retrieve their child. As EMS and Fire removed patients from the scene, began to treat patients and prepare them for transport to the hospital, our administration tracked the ambulance transports to various local hospitals to respond to parent inquiries. After the DRILL, we had an opportunity to debrief with students, parents, and first responders. The drill was very well done and it was an excellent day to test all of our procedures in a non-emergency situation. Our students did an exceptional job playing their various roles of injury so EMS could respond. Our parents did an excellent job attempting to reach the scene. The administration and our police were able to account for all students and their locations for reunification with families. Thank you to everyone involved in the planning of this morning’s drill and everyone who came out on Saturday morning to participate or observe the drill!
