Embarrass Region Volunteer Fire Department

On March 17th, Scott, Claudia & Doug from Pike-Sandy-Britt VFD came over to provide an awesome training exercise for our EMS First Responders and Rescue Firefighters. The simulation entailed an off-road logging accident. Our primary victim (a very convincing Doug) suffered a severe trauma to a leg from a chain saw, with likely arterial bleeding. A secondary victim (Don does unconscious extremely well!)was discovered at the scene suffering from an apparent heart attack. Let the games commence!
