August 20, 1999 FIRE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS CITY OF QUINCY To: Mike Foley, M.B.T.A- Safety Division From: Chief Thomas F. Corman, Jr. Subject: M.B.T.A. Drill - Quincy, Ht. May 23, 1999 on Sundry. May 23. 1999 at 0900 hours , the Quincy Fire Department, along with other public safety personnel, participated in a mock drill. This drill was held under the Water Street Bridge where a four-car train, heading to Boston on the Red Line, hit a piece of heavy equipment. The accident tested all the agencies that would be called if one of these incidents happened . This is the first time a drill of this magnitude has been done in this city. There were some minor problems that needed to be addressed and one is to keep key people near the command center. In an actual accident I believe this would not be a problem. All the firefighters performed professionally and worked well together as did all the other agencies that took part in the drill. The Quincy Hospital, along with their medical team, was a genuine asset to this drill. This part of the drill was important in that it enabled the three policing agencies to work well it tracking down the person responsible for accident and the assistance given to us before and during the drill. I believe having Med Flight in the drill made the drill a great success. Med Flight had only been called upon once; therefore, this was a great aid to my department. What made this drill go off with only a few minor enage was the training received by the M.B.T.A. over the years and the planning that went into this drill. Thank you, Mike, far all your help; the Braintree Fire Department. Boston Fire Department. Metro Fire, M.B.T.A. Police, Quincy Police, State Police Bomb Squad, Amtrak, Fallon Ambulance, Med Flight, Boston, and M.B.T.A. support people. Special thanks to Dr. Diaz and his crew from Quincy Hospital for supplying the victims and in obtaining Med Flight Boston to take part in the drill. Without the cooperation of all involved, this drill would not have been possible. CHIEF OF DEPARTMENT TEG/dm/ 40 Quincy Avenue Quincy,MA 02169 Tel: (617) 3761040. FAX: (617) 376-1409
