Hazardous practice

This morning Mat-Su Regional Hospital conducted a mass casualty incident to test their incident command readiness and the Central Mat-Su Fire Department helped get the patients to the triage area. I had some time to take pictures before I had to return to my engine (this image was taken the instant before the lead medic pointedly asked “Are you going to help?”).
