WEBVTT 00:01.879 --> 00:03.935 So today , we're exercising with the 00:03.935 --> 00:05.880 119th Wing . We're just based on a 00:05.889 --> 00:08.609 scenario that has occurred here at the 00:08.659 --> 00:11.020 Red River Valley Fairgrounds . And what 00:11.029 --> 00:13.251 we're really trying to accomplish is to 00:13.251 --> 00:15.869 the interagency cooperation with the 1 00:15.880 --> 00:18.510 19 , be able to go down range in a 00:18.520 --> 00:20.799 hazardous material environment and 00:20.809 --> 00:24.430 exercise together . So when we do have 00:24.440 --> 00:26.399 a possible call out , it's not the 00:26.409 --> 00:28.575 first time that we've worked together 00:28.584 --> 00:30.806 on the initial call out , we determined 00:30.806 --> 00:33.028 that we needed a quick reaction force . 00:33.028 --> 00:34.973 So we just determined the six rate 00:34.973 --> 00:36.751 packs that needed to fly on the 00:36.751 --> 00:38.917 helicopter and then the main body then 00:38.917 --> 00:41.140 would just come a few hours later . The 00:41.140 --> 00:43.251 scenario is there was a concert going 00:43.251 --> 00:45.473 on and lots of people were exposed to a 00:45.473 --> 00:47.695 very nasty chemical . We're bringing in 00:47.695 --> 00:49.584 these assets to try to assess the 00:49.584 --> 00:51.417 situation and advise local first 00:51.417 --> 00:53.306 responders how to best handle the 00:53.306 --> 00:55.640 situation and to identify that chemical . 00:55.640 --> 00:58.299 So then we can assure that it is safe 00:58.310 --> 01:00.200 for entry for later on . This is 01:00.209 --> 01:02.376 extremely important for us because the 01:02.376 --> 01:04.980 CST is usually the first lead to go to 01:04.989 --> 01:07.211 these incidents . We need to be able to 01:07.211 --> 01:09.378 operate under how they operate . So by 01:09.378 --> 01:11.322 doing this joint training , we can 01:11.322 --> 01:13.545 tailor our procedures and sops to match 01:13.545 --> 01:15.767 theirs . The scenario on Monday , there 01:15.767 --> 01:17.933 was some kind of a chemical release at 01:17.933 --> 01:19.989 a concert and what happened here was 01:19.989 --> 01:22.156 they had a suspect who tracked down to 01:22.156 --> 01:24.378 the air base here . And when one of the 01:24.378 --> 01:26.489 officers made entry into the garage , 01:26.489 --> 01:28.656 he started to feel sick with some kind 01:28.656 --> 01:30.656 of chemical signs of symptoms . And 01:30.656 --> 01:32.822 that's kind of what brought us here to 01:32.822 --> 01:32.660 go in and figure out what he was doing . 01:32.669 --> 01:34.739 This benefits us huge . Working with 01:34.750 --> 01:37.580 119 that we have for so many years 01:37.589 --> 01:40.860 gives us that ability to be able to use 01:40.870 --> 01:43.209 them to help fill some of our roles for 01:43.220 --> 01:45.940 short or extended period of time when 01:45.949 --> 01:48.060 there was something going on in Fargo 01:48.060 --> 01:49.893 and we're in Bismarck , they can 01:49.893 --> 01:52.060 already start that process and because 01:52.060 --> 01:54.116 we've worked together so well , it's 01:54.116 --> 01:56.171 flawless and to have an extension of 01:56.171 --> 01:58.116 what we can do here in Bismarck or 01:58.116 --> 02:00.282 anywhere else . Normally , since we're 02:00.282 --> 02:02.505 civil support , the first people on the 02:02.505 --> 02:04.616 scene are going to be your local fire 02:04.616 --> 02:06.505 department , emergency services , 02:06.505 --> 02:08.616 things like that or law enforcement , 02:08.616 --> 02:08.130 we might be able to do a little bit 02:08.139 --> 02:10.250 more so we come and help them . But a 02:10.250 --> 02:12.472 lot of times we might get a heads up if 02:12.472 --> 02:14.639 it's a 119 through the fire department 02:14.639 --> 02:16.861 will give us a call have this and we're 02:16.861 --> 02:18.972 thinking this and we can get the ball 02:18.972 --> 02:21.195 rolling and even help them with a phone 02:21.195 --> 02:23.195 call and start troubleshooting that 02:23.195 --> 02:25.361 even before we get deployed , a lot of 02:25.361 --> 02:24.800 us that have been around , it's nice to 02:24.809 --> 02:26.976 see them and we can enhance things and 02:26.976 --> 02:29.142 for the newer people just getting that 02:29.142 --> 02:31.309 face to face time . So when we do work 02:31.320 --> 02:33.699 with them down the road , if we have to 02:33.710 --> 02:36.649 in a real world , a lot of that is 02:36.660 --> 02:38.771 already taken care of . We don't know 02:38.771 --> 02:40.993 who each other are and how we work . So 02:40.993 --> 02:42.199 yeah , training like this is invaluable .
