On July 3, volunteers from the Emergency Fire and Rescue (EFRU) took part in a major incident exercise in the Marsaxlokk area, as part of a team dynamics training programme.
In this simulation, the programme participant group was augmented with other trained volunteers from the unit.
The AHEX Limited team created a realistic scenario for a simulated multiple casualty incident, adjacent to a vital facility.
The complex scenario created in the simulation necessitated the set-up of a base of operations, including a command and control unit and various EFRU sub-teams deployed under the supervision of an incident commander. This set-up enabled the efficient operation of casualty extractions, which included the use of technical rescue skills.
