JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — More than 60 first responders took part in a large-scale training operation this week near South Park boat launch on the Snake River.
These opportunities allow first responders from throughout the county to safely practice complex emergency scenarios. Jackson Hole Fire/EMS coordinated the event with various local agencies.
The simulated “mass casualty incident” training centered around a collision involving a bus loaded with passengers and numerous injuries in both vehicles. The large scene incorporated swiftwater rescue, fire suppression, extrication and medical triage efforts.
The department wishes to thank everyone who participated, and especially to community members who acted as patients and provided an added element of realism.
