Multi-agency exercise tests first-responders
Tim Wertz and Christ Kail, firefighters with the 910th Civil Engineer Squadron fire department here, lower a patient onto a triage mat during a multi-agency anti-hijacking exercise held here, April 24, 2015. The color-coded triage mats help emergency response personnel prioritize victims for treatment based on injury severity. In the background, other 910th firefighters fight a blaze on a training aircraft, simulating a commercial aircraft after terrorists detonate and explosive device. Participating agencies included the Western Reserve Port Authority, Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, local law enforcement and fire departments, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Aviation Administration and Air Force Reserve.
