Many thanks to all who participated & for allowing me the opportunity to yet again be apart of an extremely important exercise.
First up comes the simulated injuries! PLEASE NOTE - Noone was actually injured or harmed during this exercise. The casualties are Uni students studying to become Ambos....
Now the patients are ready - heres a look at the FINAL scene set up. I say Final because on arrival it wasnt how it was meant to be & was changed.
Inside the hanger is a car body meant to represent the cabin of a twin seater plane....
Outside is the actually twin seater plane - but with different casualties
And an up-turned car....
And now the incident unfolding.... Firefighters arriving, followed by Ambulance & Police.....
all doing their respective jobs.
Some of the "Before"... "During"...& "After" images
