well thats rather gutsy
much thanks to CFP387 and KM4WLV for the info, the details of the nitty gritty in just about anything are often what i find most interesting. i am really kinda surprised that a test like that was undertaken once, much less on a regular basis. i mean it is exactly what should be done but many governments are scared to death due to possible liability and the risk of looking bad cause no one knows what to do in an emergency...which is kinda the bread and butter of emergency services.
i am rarely impressed by much of anything undertaken by any govt group, but sounds like ya'll have a good handle on things. congrats. my next question, especially if it its done quarterly, is, is someone number crunching to find the least risky day in terms of calls for service during an average period or are ya'll just scheduling the day and just assuming to have to deal with whatever there is to deal with when the time comes? ie: sept 7, a wednesday, 10am as opposed to 3am on a monday morning (which its my understanding is one of the slower times of the week), thereby simulating likely emergency scenerios?
either way thanks and glad to hear things went well and hope they continue.
