Roadway Emergency Response Drill uses a flipped school bus, evacuated “mock” accident victims and a helicopter landing to simulate the real thing
It looked like a Hollywood movie set.
For four hours, the parking lot of the I-77 Express/I-77 Mobility Partners headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, swarmed with EMS first responders, area police officers, firefighters, sheriff deputies, highway police officers and I-77 employees, each playing their role in a large-scale emergency response drill complete with a flipped school bus, make-shift landing pad and medivac.
“A well-run scene can make the difference between life and death” said Greg Freeman, I-77 Express Safety Manager, who planned this event with Rob Boisvert, Corporate Affairs Director, earlier this month.
