John, is that "Abbotsville" (or something like that)?? I couldn't hit the right links, I guess. I've seen some articles over the years on these table-top simulations. I guess the modeler in me kinda chuckled at seeing Hot Wheels squads, ambulances, etc. sitting on the "layout." The firefighter/paramedic in me thought "what a great way to practice this ICS (Incident Command System) stuff. <br /> <br />The one I'm thinking of is used for everything from SWAT situations for the cops, to HAZMAT, to natural disasters. This Abbot guy (if that's the right dude) even would go so far as to "drop buckets of 'debris' all across the town," to foil the responders. The article I recall said he even went so far as to really hammer the "know-it-all" type that always seemed to show up...he'd bring out a Godzilla creature, "walk" it across the town, dropping "radioactive waste" in his wake... gotta admire that level of dementia! <br /> <br />Thanks for the link, even though I didn't find that article, I did find some that I was able to point my boss to. <br /> <br />Stay safe, <br /> <br />Chris Umscheid, EMT-P (Iowa Paramedic Specialist), FF1, Fire Instructor 1, EMSI <br />Campus Paramedic, Adjunct EMS Instructor <br />Kirkwood Community College <br />Cedar Rapids, Iowa <br /> <br />Former Firefighter/EMT/Paramedic <br />Central City Vol. Fire Dept. <br />Springville Vol. Fire-Rescue <br />Troy Mills Vol. Fire Dept.
