Over two dozen officers, firefighters, and medics were at Kiser Elementary School in Dayton.
They stood in full gear, waiting to run through this drill.
“This is a drill for us to find out where we have weak spots, where we have opportunities for improvement,” said Benjamin Goodstein, Vice President and Chief Ambulatory Officer. “This is just a great skills update for them.”
Over 50 actors volunteered to get made up with injuries and role-play for medics and hospital personnel.
Goodstein said they try to go all out in this drill at least once or twice a year.
