Here are a few pictures of LCFD11 Pe Ell VFD training and dealing with a situation of a mass casualty incident in our response area, along with additional assistance from LCFD13 Boistfort VFD.

D11 operates A11-1 with transport capabilities when staffed with at least one EMT. D13 operates A13-1 as an aide response vehicle and has transport capabilities in rare extreme circumstances such as a mass casualty incident when staffed with at least one EMT.

I want to thank the Pastor of the Dryad Church for allowing to utilize their large meeting/kitchen area along with the backyard for our training.

These are the type of responses that we must unfortunately train for and hope/pray that we never need to truly deal with.

All of these participants "patients/victims" were from D11 and D16. This training incident dealt with 5 individuals, with 4 of the 5 needing transport to various higher levels of care.

These pictures are from a TRAINING EXERCISE ONLY.

Your fire dept doing various rescue operations training. This training dealt with having to assess one patient trapped under a debris pile along side some sort of piece of equipment-aka stuck under a dump trailer and pile of wood. They also found a second patient halfway into the training they had to deal with. Lifting, moving and cutting debris-along with medical stabilization and transport of patients.
