Saint Joseph's Hospital - Disaster Drill

[Chief 5]

Good afternoon,

I have received some information on the Disaster Drill being Held Thursday 0800 - 1200 hours. 

WE WILL MEET AT 0800 and then go up to SJW. 

I'll start by saying who has signed up:

Boehner

Fairweather

Turner B

Turner K

Duncan

Attached is the scenario I received from the Commissioner, in short here it is:

This exercise is a Full-Scale Exercise, planned for three (3) hours at St. Joseph’s Wayne Medical Center, Wayne, NJ. Exercise play is limited to the SJWMC 4th Floor, Hyperbaric Suite, Meyer Conference Center and Conference Room 3A/B.

An explosion in the Hyperbaric Suite at St. Joseph’s Wayne Medical Center causes structural damage, fire, and heavy smoke conditions. The blast results in casualties and immediate life safety concerns as fire and smoke spread rapidly throughout the facility. Initial response efforts are overwhelmed, leading to a full-scale hospital evacuation.

Here is the kicker, no other company will be sending trucks or personnel to the drill. So just like a real day call, Co#5 is it. 

Please advise me if anyone else can attend.
