Multi-Jurisdictional MCI Drill

On Wednesday November 17th Chief 49B and Rescue Squad 49 (/c 8) participated with other units from Anne Arundel, Montgomery & Prince George's Counties in a multi-casualty drill that was used to demonstrate the dangers of drinking and racing to area teenagers. There have been over a dozen fatal crashes on area roads that have involved teenagers and excessive speed this past year. The drill involved 16 patients and 6 vehicles - there were 11 patients trapped in 4 of them. Chief 49B commanded the Extrication Sector. Squad 49 preformed the extrication on 3 of the vehicles while Squad 4 from Sandy Spring (Montgomery) extricated from the fourth. The crew from S49 then assisted in the Triage and Treatment Sectors while the patients were packaged for transport by one of 4 helicopters used in the Transport Sector. |
