This week's Monday Night Drill was a "Tanker Shuttle" drill at the South Salem Firehouse for our Firefighters and a "Call Audit" drill for our EMTs.

The Vista Fire Department joined Fire Departments from South Salem, Goldens Bridge, Katonah, Ridgefield, Bedford, Bedford Hills, Croton Falls, New Canaan, Pound Ridge and Somers in practicing tanker shuttle operations. We would like to thank the South Salem Fire Department for hosting the Tanker Shuttle.

A "tanker shuttle" is where Firefighters are forced to move water via tankers due to areas with no fire hydrants or good drafting resources. It is instrumental for Departments in our area to have an adequate water supply to insure a successful fireground operation. Being that the Vista Fire District is a "rural water supply" area, practicing this type of water supply operations is instrumental.

Led by our Medical Director Dr. Jill Waldman, our Vista EMTs spent this Monday's drill reviewing their Prehospital Care Reports (PCR's) as part of our "Quality Assessment & Quality Improvement (QA/QI) Program" during a Call Audit on Monday night. PCR's are the documentation of all the care and pertinent patient information that our EMT's will receive during an EMS call.
