HELP: Trying to Set Up A School Bus MCI Drill

8 posts in this topic

I was donated a mini school bus, and I am looking to set up an MCI / Extrication drill. My goal is to have two sets of tools from two different FD's, several BLS ambulances, and perhaps a Medic. I was thinking about asking a Boy Scout of Girl Scout Troop to be the patients.

Does anybody have any experience in setting up a drill like this? Know anybody who does?

Does anyone have any training slideshows that focus on bus construction, attack tactics, etc.

Does anyone have any videos? Pamphlets, Handouts?

I would also like someone to take pictures of the drill...any of the fantastic photographers on this site interested? (I'm not sure of a date yet)

This idea is in its early stages and I'm trying to figure out a good approach... Any help, advice, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Madison Martineau

Check out the following from the Owego Apalachin Central School District Transportation Department web site. In addition to a bus rollover simulator they also have a link to a presentation about an MCI drill that they did with a bus vs car incident.

Impressive. It's good to see someone really thinking and being proactive about things. The level of student interaction and involvement is equally impressive.

I actually just completed setting up and executing this drill a week and a half ago for my department (Mahopac Falls). It involved a large school bus and a car with 14 patients and I had 3 other FD's and a total of 6 ambulances. If you want any help or have any questions, pm me and we can exchange numbers. I learned alot in hind sight as well and would like to pass it on. So yep, let me know.
