IVINS — Firefighters and police officers from Santa Clara-Ivins and Dammeron Valley, an Intermountain Life Flight helicopter and several emergency medical first responders scrambled to help the victims of a bus crash in Ivins.
But it was only a simulation.
This was the fourth time Rocky Vista University held its annual mass casualty incident preparedness event, providing medical students and local emergency first responders a chance to simulate a mass casualty incident.
Last year, the simulation was of a bombing. This time, on March 23, the mock incident featured something commonly found on St. George News: a multi-vehicle crash.
A big difference this time is the Rocky Vista students were also joined by international students from Utah Tech University and students from Dixie Technology College’s EMT program.
