The DART team recently conducted a quarterly mock callout, not only for the learning experience, but a critique in procedures and equipment requirements. The motto for our training is “extreme challenge brings on knowledge”. What started out as a 7pm mobilization, turned into something much more sinister.
As darkness descended, the team quickly mobilized, distributing radios, flashlights, and assembled according to FEMA ICS protocols.
A search pattern quickly developed.
As the teams spread out, evidence of a gunfight started showing up.
As with all events, sometimes, surprises rear their head. Evidently, there was a another victim, shot in the chest and leg. The DART team quickly responded to not only stabilize the victim but transport him upstairs to emergency transport.
