Search and Rescue Drill for 11/11/24

By Vista Fire Department

This week's Monday drill was a "Search & Rescue" drill for our members.

The "Search & Rescue" drill had our Vista Firefighters performing search & rescue operations by conducting searches for a trapped patient in a structure fire scenario. Once they located the patient, firefighters removed the patient out of the structure where Vista EMS personnel were awaiting the patient. This type of training helps our firefighters better prepare themselves for the challenges they may face in a structure fire atmosphere when they may need to exit a building or conduct various tasks such as a search & rescue.

While our Firefighters were participating in several scenarios, our Vista EMS personnel practiced "Rehab Operations" which was designed to ensure Firefighters' physical and/or mental well-being during an emergency scene. Due to the dangers that come with Firefighting, rehab operations play a crucial role in making sure all of our emergency responders stay safe. The Vista Fire Department is fortunate enough to offer both Fire & EMS services which allows our members to train together in scenarios such as these.
