New Rochelle Talk.com reported a joint effort by area firehouses to prepare the departments for emergencies. Firefighters who participated in the drills responded to a simulated terrorist attack and worked together to remove and decontaminate numerous victims.
The victims were played by other firefighters so they could prepare to give people life-saving medical care in the event of an emergency.
Other participating departments included New Rochelle, Yonkers, White Plains, Pelham Manor, Scarsdale, Hartsdale, Greenville and the FDNY.
