On the morning of June 10, 2008, Cisco Systems, Calpine and the San Jose Fire Department, with the assistance of AMR, participated in a simulated natural gas explosion and multi-causality event. Engines 25 and 29, Truck and Rescue Medic 29, Med 30 and Battalion 29 worked with Cisco System’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) members to assess, treat and transport moulaged victims.
The “real time” drill incorporated a limited unified command with SJFD assuming lead roles as IC and PIO. Functional groups were created for Fire Suppression, Hazardous Materials, Rescue and Medical. Cisco showcased their state-of-the-art NERV (Network Emergency Response Vehicle) that has extensive technological and communication capabilities.
Cisco has performed simulated drills for nearly a decade at their north San Jose campus.
