Simulation of large-scale, multi-agency emergency situation to be held — This is ONLY a drill
information released
Lake Chelan Health Emergency Medical Services, in partnership with Chelan Fire & Rescue and Manson Fire Department, will conduct a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) training exercise on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
The exercise will take place at Sargent Field and will simulate a large-scale emergency involving multiple patients.
Community members in the area may notice increased emergency response activity, including vehicles, personnel, and ambulance traffic to and from Lake Chelan Health Hospital. This is only a training exercise—there is no real emergency.
Students from Chelan High School MedClub and EMT students from Wenatchee Valley Technical Skills Center will participate as mock patients, helping responders practice coordinated on-scene care and hospital operations.
This exercise is part of ongoing efforts to ensure our local emergency teams are prepared to respond effectively in the event of a real mass casualty incident.
We appreciate the community’s understanding and cooperation during this important training.
