Monrovia Fire Station 2 was taken over by bloodied victims, fire fighters and CERT responders today during an Emergency Disaster Drill from 10 a.m. to noon. The disaster drill is one of two that the City does every year. The scenario presented was an earthquake which resulted in the damage to a reservoir and a buckled apartment building. At Fire Station 2, these “victims” – who were volunteers – walked out of the building screaming “what happened to my face,” CERT volunteers raced to respond to people inside the building, and fire fighters carried out people who were tasked with being deceased. The intention of the drill is to simulate a real life scenario.
