PWFD LIRR MCI Drill [4-30-17]

On Sunday, April 30th, 2017 the Port Washington Fire Department in coordination with the Long Island Railroad and other agencies and fire departments held a mass casualty incident drill recreating a collision between a passenger filled train and a bumper block and train platform. Juniors from various fire departments in Nassau County along with a handful of adults played the role of train passengers. These passengers acted as though they were injured and it was up to first responders to properly assess and color tag them. Smoke machines were strategically placed throughout the train cars simulating a fire onboard the train. The drill was held at the Port Washington train station off Main Street.
