A live mock carbon monoxide leak emergency exercise took place Tuesday at Clearwater Secondary School, where emergency service agencies from around the Clearwater area tested the community’s ability to respond to a major disaster.
Students and staff volunteered to play victims overcome by a carbon monoxide leak in the school, while other agencies including Clearwater, Blackpool, and Vavenby Volunteer Fire Departments, BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS), Clearwater RCMP, and Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital played the respective roles they’d play during that type of emergency.
