So, what if the shooting hoax at Erie High was actually a real-life crisis? Local crews were put to the test to see if they’re ready for the unexpected.
Emergycare’s headquarters was transformed into a simulation for emergency crews.
“I’m excited to see how it plays out it’s definitely scary to like think about this actually happening,” said Camille, a simulated victim and Penn West Edinboro nursing student.
Disaster scenarios that once seemed unimaginable have become a disturbing reality.
Local EMS, Erie Police and the Erie Fire Department came together to participate in a mass casualty drill.
“Is the training in real life going to come together here and work properly?” asked Dan Spizarny, Chief of Erie Police. “We’re going to throw a few curves at them. That they’re not expecting. It’s a learning experience.”
