Fairchild Medical Center Conducts Active Shooter Drill
“Today at 11:00 AM, Fairchild Medical Center Clinic in Yreka, CA conducted an active shooter drill with simulated rounds fired inside the clinic. This drill enabled more than 40 staff members across the clinics to respond to an active shooter using the Run, Hide, Fight protocol.
Mass casualties were simulated, allowing Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to respond. Fairchild’s Hazard Vulnerability Analysis recognized the threat of an active shooter in a healthcare setting, as increasingly seen across the country. Safety was of the utmost priority.
This drill was the culmination of six months of multiple agency planning. Today’s event will be followed by the agencies sharing lessons learned. This drill highlights Fairchild’s ongoing commitment to the safety of our communities, patients and staff.”
