Union Parish 911 was proud to take part in Ward 5 Fire Dept.’s Mock MCI training exercise today involving a simulated school bus crash and a multi-agency response.

Two of our dispatchers attended the event to observe and participate in the training alongside numerous responding agencies. During the exercise, Union Parish 911 also set up a mobile dispatch post, which provided an excellent opportunity to train in MCI communications, resource coordination, and real-time information flow between dispatch and units operating on scene.

Exercises like this are important because they strengthen communication, coordination, and overall preparedness between dispatch, fire, EMS, air medical, and emergency response partners. It also allowed our team to practice managing a high-volume incident environment, tracking incoming information, supporting field operations, and reinforcing the critical role dispatch plays during large-scale emergencies.

We are grateful for the opportunity to be involved in this valuable training and to work alongside Ward 5 Fire, Pafford, Pafford Air One Alpha, LERN, Bernice Fire, Truxno Fire, North East Union Fire, Downsville Community Charter School, and all others who helped make the event a success.

Training events like these help ensure that when real emergencies happen, all agencies are better prepared to respond quickly, effectively, and together for the safety of our community.
