Dozens of first responders spent their Thursday training for a mass casualty event at Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport. More than ten agencies’ firefighters, paramedics and EMTs trained to respond to a simulated crash landing. To maximize realism, a fuselage was set on fire. Firefighters rushed to the burning fuselage, while paramedics and EMTs practiced treating Red Cross volunteers lying on the asphalt near the charred plane, acting as victims. The training, mandated by the FAA, is held every three years.
