WEBVTT 00:01.100 --> 00:05.030 Lucas Lechtenberg , Lucas 00:06.059 --> 00:09.819 Lechtenb , 00:09.890 --> 00:13.229 er G . Ok . And can you tell me what's 00:13.239 --> 00:15.461 going , going to be going on Saturday ? 00:15.720 --> 00:17.831 So on Saturday we have the uh a mayor 00:17.831 --> 00:19.942 going on . So that's a major accident 00:19.942 --> 00:22.109 response exercise where we're going to 00:22.109 --> 00:24.809 be having a lot of simulated patients 00:25.430 --> 00:27.840 to prepare us for any type of major 00:27.850 --> 00:29.961 disaster that could affect off at Air 00:29.961 --> 00:33.639 Force base . And what exactly happens 00:33.650 --> 00:35.919 during the mayor ? So d the mayor , 00:35.930 --> 00:39.369 we're going to be dispatched to an 00:39.380 --> 00:41.909 emergency of some type , possibly a 00:41.919 --> 00:45.310 plane crash into a crowd of people . So 00:45.319 --> 00:47.569 we're going to have a plane , a 00:47.580 --> 00:49.691 simulated plane fire . We're going to 00:49.691 --> 00:51.858 have a lot of patients and we're going 00:51.858 --> 00:53.747 to be working with our mutual aid 00:53.747 --> 00:55.889 partners to mitigate that emergency . 01:00.009 --> 01:02.790 Ok . What type of relationships do we 01:02.799 --> 01:04.799 have with other emergency , medical 01:04.799 --> 01:06.966 services or law enforcement services ? 01:07.169 --> 01:09.002 So we're fortunate to have great 01:09.002 --> 01:10.891 relationships with our mutual aid 01:10.891 --> 01:13.459 partners . Um off the base , we train a 01:13.470 --> 01:16.040 lot with them . We respond pretty 01:16.050 --> 01:18.529 frequently to each other's emergencies . 01:18.959 --> 01:21.290 Um So we've been very fortunate for 01:21.300 --> 01:24.349 this . All right . How does it make you 01:24.360 --> 01:26.582 feel knowing that we have these kind of 01:26.582 --> 01:29.419 relationships , it makes it easier to 01:29.430 --> 01:31.190 do our jobs . So having those 01:31.199 --> 01:33.366 relationships built ahead of time with 01:33.366 --> 01:35.366 that trust just allows us to better 01:35.366 --> 01:37.199 serve the community . All of our 01:37.199 --> 01:39.199 departments are stronger when we're 01:39.199 --> 01:41.477 working together and sharing resources . 01:43.000 --> 01:46.080 Hm Man , this paper's break . 01:47.290 --> 01:49.346 If this were a real life situation , 01:49.346 --> 01:51.512 how much easier would it be to respond 01:51.650 --> 01:54.510 because you already have a relationship 01:54.519 --> 01:57.559 with . So having these relationships 01:57.569 --> 02:00.879 built in front of an emergency is 02:01.220 --> 02:03.387 making a big difference for us . So we 02:03.387 --> 02:05.498 have that trust already built in with 02:05.498 --> 02:07.650 each other . We know what to expect , 02:07.769 --> 02:11.160 how we're going to respond . So those 02:11.169 --> 02:13.789 disasters can be mitigated much faster 02:14.570 --> 02:16.399 and with much more confidence , 02:19.300 --> 02:21.356 how often do you get to partner with 02:21.356 --> 02:24.240 the agencies off base ? So we get a 02:24.250 --> 02:26.417 partner with our mutual aid partners . 02:26.417 --> 02:28.639 Pretty frequently . We train together a 02:28.639 --> 02:30.806 lot . We attend classes and uh we also 02:30.806 --> 02:33.389 host classes here . Um , we are a 02:33.399 --> 02:35.869 member of the Tri mu Aid Association . 02:35.880 --> 02:38.490 So , um , that organization allows us 02:38.500 --> 02:40.222 to meet with our partners uh , 02:40.222 --> 02:43.179 frequently to discuss issues that are 02:43.190 --> 02:45.190 going on in our area and how we can 02:45.190 --> 02:47.190 better serve our communities . Ok . 02:47.470 --> 02:51.289 What other agencies will 02:51.300 --> 02:53.809 be participating on Saturday ? Just the 02:53.820 --> 02:57.369 fire . So we'll have Bellevue 02:57.570 --> 03:01.270 Plas Smith Papillion and Murray that 03:01.279 --> 03:03.279 will be all be participating in the 03:03.279 --> 03:07.240 mayor and just for a while , 03:07.250 --> 03:09.330 you know , the main work , but uh 03:09.929 --> 03:13.199 you're only gonna do one burn , correct . 03:13.210 --> 03:15.432 Ok . And who's actually going to be the 03:15.432 --> 03:18.350 department's responding to the ? So 03:18.360 --> 03:20.527 during the live fire portion that will 03:20.527 --> 03:23.279 be uh off it . Ok . And the other crews 03:23.289 --> 03:26.570 just be there participating or watching 03:26.580 --> 03:30.419 or ? Yeah . So our 03:30.429 --> 03:32.600 crews with our airport trucks will be 03:32.610 --> 03:34.929 extinguishing the simulated airport 03:34.940 --> 03:37.720 fire while the other crews and the 03:37.729 --> 03:39.960 remainder of our personnel will be 03:40.160 --> 03:43.339 responding to the patients . Ok . Ok . 03:43.990 --> 03:46.589 That makes sense . All right . So , ok . 03:47.050 --> 03:49.217 Yeah , I was just trying to figure out 03:49.217 --> 03:51.050 how that worked in my own mind . 03:54.369 --> 03:56.750 Uh How do the exercise like this ? How 03:56.759 --> 03:59.070 do exercises like this improve the 03:59.080 --> 04:01.350 overall skills of everyone involved ? 04:01.990 --> 04:04.369 So these types of exercises uh greatly 04:04.380 --> 04:06.602 increase our skills . Obviously , these 04:06.602 --> 04:08.769 are types of emergencies that we don't 04:08.769 --> 04:10.658 get frequently thankfully . Um So 04:10.658 --> 04:12.491 anytime we get an opportunity to 04:12.491 --> 04:14.547 practice these skills , moving large 04:14.547 --> 04:16.769 numbers of patients and getting them to 04:16.769 --> 04:19.690 our local hospitals in an expedited 04:19.700 --> 04:22.489 manner is only going to make us better 04:22.579 --> 04:24.135 servants in the community . 04:27.510 --> 04:29.621 What's the number one thing you would 04:29.621 --> 04:31.843 like for the public to know about these 04:31.843 --> 04:34.121 exercises and why they're so important . 04:34.980 --> 04:36.980 The biggest thing for us is just an 04:36.980 --> 04:39.202 opportunity to , to practice our skills 04:39.202 --> 04:41.202 with uh organizations that we don't 04:41.202 --> 04:43.147 always get to participate in large 04:43.147 --> 04:45.258 events like this . Um It allows us to 04:45.258 --> 04:47.147 be better prepared and , and work 04:47.147 --> 04:49.369 together as a team , um both on and off 04:49.369 --> 04:53.170 base because we train together 04:53.179 --> 04:55.709 with off base agencies will this help 04:55.720 --> 04:57.831 reduce response times in the future . 04:57.980 --> 05:00.313 All right . All right . So , absolutely , 05:00.410 --> 05:02.410 having our off base responders that 05:02.410 --> 05:04.577 don't always come on base , get to see 05:04.577 --> 05:06.743 how we travel and traverse through the 05:06.743 --> 05:08.854 base , how to gain access is going to 05:08.854 --> 05:11.077 allow for our response times to greatly 05:11.077 --> 05:13.790 improve during large disasters . And is 05:13.799 --> 05:15.910 there anything else you would like to 05:15.910 --> 05:17.855 add about anything ? Just so we're 05:17.855 --> 05:20.021 thankful for our off base partners for 05:20.021 --> 05:22.077 coming here on a , on a Saturday and 05:22.077 --> 05:24.132 giving us time to train together and 05:24.132 --> 05:26.243 make sure that we're prepared for any 05:26.243 --> 05:26.820 event that occurs in the future .
