Simulated tragedy, real-world takeaways

MOSES LAKE — Just off Bolling Street at the Big Bend Community College campus on Tuesday afternoon there was a mass of commotion. People could be heard screaming in pain for help and first responders were busying themselves loading injured patients onto gurneys. The hustle and bustle was all apart of a wide-scale scenario to see how various agencies and entities from around the area would respond to a potential Mass Casualty Incident (MCI).
