Jefferson County EMS, along with multiple partner agencies, took part in a countywide Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) exercise today. This high-intensity training scenario challenged responders to use every skill at their disposal. Upon arrival, crews were met with a demanding scene—an overturned school bus requiring rapid assessment, coordinated response, and lifesaving care. Exercises like this are critical in ensuring our teams remain prepared to respond effectively when real emergencies happen. Thanks to Jefferson City Fire Department, Dandridge Fire Department, White Pine Fire Department, Baneberry Fire Department, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Jefferson County Rescue Squad, Jefferson County E911, Tennessee Association of Rescue Squads, Jefferson County School Board, Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP), WSCC paramedic students, and our other community partners.
