Blacksburg firefighters carry one of the volunteer victims in Saturday’s simulated airplane crash at the Virginia Tech Montgomery Executive Airport in Blacksburg. The drill provided an opportunity for first responders to practice coordination and medical procedures.

Along with approximately 20 volunteer victims, first responders treated both inflatable and plastic mannequins at the mock airplane crash Saturday. About 45 first responders from various local agencies participated in the event.
Volunteer victims display their fake wounds. Volunteers said they arrived at 8 a.m. to receive the make-up for their “injuries.” The drill began at 10 a.m.
