That's pretty funny. I'm the guy with the "31" front piece. Badge #1818. Didn't even know the camera was on me. I can say that drill was less than organized. Alot of people running all over the place. More Chiefs than you can shake a stick at.....

Hopefully this time around there is a little more planning involved. I know Port Chester will be there.

I did the drill 20+ years ago while working at WCA (remember the Quanset Hut?).

The best way to describe that drill was "Organized Chaos", As was mentioned earlier, Multiple departments operating at an incident over a large area, with chiefs that potentialy have no past experience working with the fellow departments.

Large scale drills/incidents are the only time that you potenially could be working with a department from the completely opposite end of the county, or state for that matter. ICS should account for this, but probably won't
