Division 22 conducted a 60 hour continuous drill from March 19th to the 21st in preparation for the DHS Topoff 3 exercise and as part of the continuing formation of an Auxiliary Response Plan to augment Station Eatons Neck. Auxiliarists conducted all of the daily routines at Station Eatons Neck and filled billets including watch standing, ready boat crews, officer of the day, cooking, security, fire response, grounds security, and completed many maintenance tasks ranging from installing a new door to repairing the furnaces. We also had quite a few Auxiliarists bunking at the Station. This was the fourth such drill at the Station of hands on training to supplement the individual training that has been going on for the last several months. We now have over 100 members involved (maybe as high as 150) in the program. We also have SIGNIFICANT participation from Division 7. One of the highlights of the three days was a fire drill coordinated with local fire and medical response agencies. The pictures attached tell the story.

Second Fire truck and two ambulances respond. |

| As the fire intensifies, one adult (Orange dummy on ground – picture below) is removed from the home but turned out to be the first casualty while the inured Coastie that jumped from the window is transported on a backboard to the ambulance by Coasties and Auxiliarists. |

| Triage area is set up on the lawn across the street from the fire as Medical Team continues working |
The smoke is so thick that visibility is
less than one foot inside the house and
it provides a real challenge for those
inside searching for the victims as they
cover every square foot by feel. One
adult and the two children are still
unaccounted for. |
|
|
A child is recovered from a closet inside the house and passed to a member of the Fire Departments Medical Response Unit.
|
The second child was discovered
and moved to the triage area,
then the final adult is accounted
for as he is removed by four
firefighters |
