Central Pierce Fire & Rescue crews will conduct Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) training every week from July through October. The drills simulate emergencies with multiple patients to improve rapid assessment, triage, and teamwork skills.

The training ensures firefighters and paramedics are prepared for large-scale incidents, though the district hopes such events never occur. The district emphasized that these exercises help crews respond effectively when every second counts during real emergencies.

The next scheduled training session is not specified in the source, but the district will continue weekly drills until October 2026.
