"We caught the ambulance off t;guard," but it was a good training (program." Many persons stopping to help at the scene of the disaster thought it was ';real.. t Only one EMT was lost as she entered the school bus without the area being 1 cleared of an electrical wire which struck the van. Fourteen mock disaster volunteer victims were painted and made up to simulate actual injuries. "Vilkens Transportation donated a van and the Uintah School District furnished a school bus. "Victims did a great acting job, simulating a real disaster," Fountaine said. The disaster was organized by Sheri Stettler, RN, inservice director at the hospital. After the victims were transported to the hospital, each were treated as if they had actual injuries. Power was cut off at the hosp.tal and was switched to auxiliary power. "From the training exercise we found some things we'd like to correct, but overall it was a good training program," Fountaine said. r ! . i i i-...; . -.
