| On Sunday morning, Upperco Volunteer Fire Company participated with other first responders, as coordinated by Chestnut Ridge Volunteer Fire Company 500 and Pikesville Volunteer Fire Company 320 to train on a simulated mass casualty incident.
The incident was dispatched as a motorcycle accident that involved two overturned buses and over 30 victims with simulated injuries ranging from minor to severe and fatal. The drill was done twice and included a visit from the Maryland State Police Medevac helicopter.
Upperco Volunteer Fire Company had units ATV 85, Utility 859, and Ambo 855 with a total of 5 Volunteers operated in this drill. Also Upperco Volunteer Fire Company had 10 other members (Senior and Junior) play victims in the drill.
Training drills like this help to ensure that we are ready to provide a coordinated response in the event of real-life disaster. Thank you Chestnut Ridge Volunteer Fire Company, Pikesville Volunteer Fire Company and the rest of Baltimore County Volunteers & Career units on scene. |
