Meadows Field Emergency Exercise
Hall Ambulance Service participated in the 2015 Meadows Field Emergency Exercise organized by the FAA and the County of Kern Department of Airports.
The MCI scenario provided Hall Paramedics, EMTs, and Paramedic Field Supervisors with the opportunity to test readiness, START Triage, communications and working with multiple agencies.
Hall Ambulance also deployed the Disaster Medical Supply Unit (DMSU) assigned to the Company by the California Emergency Medical Services Authority for response to large-scale multi-casualty incidents.
51 patients were triaged and ‘transported’ in about an hour.
Additional agencies participating included Kern County Fire, Bakersfield Fire Department, Kern County EMS, Civil Air Patrol, Airport Police, Red Cross, and representatives from Fresno County Fire and LAPD.
