This week's Monday Drill saw the Vista Firefighters review "SCBA Operations" while our Vista Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's) went over the "Bleeding Control & Triage Operations" protocols. Led by Capt. Mike Peck, Vista Firefighters followed 200 feet of hose line with their SCBA masks blacked out as they went through several obstacles such as assembling the air pack, reduced profile and full removal. Led by Lt. Debbie Ferman, Vista EMT's went over Bleeding Control procedures and the protocols for Triage Operations.
