Over the last week of September Mountain View Fire hosted six other fire agencies and several law enforcement agencies in a full-scale Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) training. The drill was designed around a response to a mass violence type of event and featured over thirty role players. Agencies focused on MCI response, triage, treatment, and transport of victims. The training was an excellent chance to refresh our large-scale incident response skills.

Fire and EMS Agencies involved in the training:

• Louisville Fire
• Lafayette Fire
• Boulder Rural Fire
• Longmont fire
• North Metro Fire
• AMR (American Medical Response)

Law Enforcement Agencies involved in the training:

• Boulder County Sheriff’s Office
• Mead Police Department
• Boulder Opens Space and Mountain Parks

Special thanks to our friends at Strategic Medical Research and Training for providing excellent instruction and helping to facilitate the training.
