Provincial Ambulance is hot right now with some of the comms for a regional disaster drill being held at Calgary Fire Training this weekend. CAN-TF4 is involved heavily (I'm not sure who TF4 is; Calgary is TF2) from the sounds of it.

I hope to get some of the event captured on 'film' (okay, memory stick) later on and will provide anything I can come up with.

Is'nt this week the Canada wide SAR (Search and Rescue) convention in Calgary? As advertised as part of this convention was a mock terrorist attack drill.

Yes, true. I haven't been to the site yet (maybe tomorrow) but the story is that a simulated parking garage collapse has been set up in the CFD academy yard.

Haven't heard any more comms, but I've been asleep since last night's work shift.

By the way, after a little digging, I figured out who all is which TF's in Canada..

CAN-TF1 - Vancouver (http://www.can-tf1.org)
CAN-TF2 - Calgary

I think CAN-TF4 is Toronto from rumblings I've seen on some message boards. Besides Vancouver and Calgary, the other cities with TFs are: Brandon, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax.
