 This is a mass casualty situation was an active shooter went through the door and immediately there was a casualty in the hallway. The adrenaline started going right then in there. Set up into two separate teams of police officers with three MS personnel each. It was our job to start doing a search and rescue by collecting casualties. We were clearing rooms along the way. There was mass casualties in an ICU. Possible suspect with a gunshot wound. We started getting a walking wounded out as quick as possible. As soon as everybody was cleared out, we formed up again and headed back out. Some of the best training ever. We are at the old University Hospital complex. This particular building has a lot of different floor plans and they replicate very well the kind of building that first responders might end up in an active shooter type environment. For this exercise, we're gonna assume shots fired, parties down. In an active shooter situation, the officers sole focus is on neutralizing that threat. Protecting lives is the number one priority. It was really crazy because they actually came out with rifles, raminations and actual bombs. I really didn't expect that. What we're trying to do is really test their limits. We want to make sure that they stop the killing spree. At the same time, we want our officers, our EMS and our fire personnel to enter these dangerous situations, these hot zones and extract injured parties as quickly as possible and save lives. There's no fire EMS law enforcement, okay? Everybody here is gonna be responsible for taking care of these victims. Do something. You know, if you got three officers in a room and you're all standing there watching blood pumping out and everybody's going, where's the firefighters? You got three minutes till they're dead. So my role is I'm a guy who got a shocking shale to the back. The makeup was such that when I saw the wound, I panicked knowing it was makeup in an actor. We're providing some special effects makeup. We've got some lacerations, some bullet wounds, alcohol pigments, latex, blood, blood, more blood, a severed finger that we haven't found a use for yet today. We're going to be placing a kind of small flush wound on his cheek. It looks like it's gonna sit pretty nice right around here. More adhesive to kind of help seal the edge and in theory keep it from popping up. Next, we're gonna do a little painting with the alcohol pigment. Make it more dramatic. Then I'm gonna grab some blood gel. That's gonna make it look disgusting. Close your eyes for me please. You're all set. We do a lot of horror movies and things like that where it's all in good fun but knowing that these guys are training for a real-life situation is kind of sad. You see a lot of mistakes. I mean there's a lot of mistakes but that's good because you remember those. I think the biggest mistake that our team made, we spread ourselves way too thin too fast. Got to a point where we were outside of a room of casualties without paramedics and we stalled. Once we got in the other side of that door it was like God I wish we didn't wait. We got three people who have to wait five, ten minutes for a turn to get put on. We're dragging out dead bodies. You can see the arterial bleeding and it wasn't gonna stop until you did the right first aid so we shouldn't have stalled. We should have went in there right away and did what we could have done. That's gonna be one of the losses that I've learned out of today. The exercise is critically important. Do we clear the right? To bring 50 different agencies from across the metro area together. To wrap around? Really this is about preparedness. Jones, you have to with you get the training and then practice that training. There's a device inside of room 378. It's not a question of if it's a question of when. We got a hostage situation here. When it does happen. If you're not even somewhat prepared. It's really gonna be a soup sandwich for you so. If we don't do this more often. We're gonna lose those skills that we get Todd. This is the stuff that you remember. We need to do this kind of training a lot more often. In a scenario, in a scenario.
