During random OC Fire Scanner listening, I ran across alot of traffic regarding some sort of accident or incident at DCA tonight at around 7pm. The radio traffic had been going for some time, and there was much talk about Triage locations, Medics locations, Command post info, ect.
The basic info I could understand was that something had happened in DCA's Hollywood Backlot area. They had setup a triage area next to the Hyperion, and they were bringing in medics through Harbor Point. I also heard about possibly 60+ people injured, and 11 dead. They were speaking with the local hospitals for transport of victims, and the hospitals were saying how full or available they are. There was also a 'Female with a GSW to the Face'...?? Possible Gun Shot Wound??
Once I realized they were speaking about DCA, I jumped into my car and drove to the parks. Once onsite, around 8:30pm, I could see many Ambulances and Fire Engines behind the Hyperion. They were exiting through Harbor Point and were from AFD, Fullerton FD, and Santa Ana FD.
I spoke with people exiting the parks, and there was no sense of an emergency or problem. No one at the Cast Member Pickup for KCML had heard anything.
I'm wondering if there is anyone who could confirm a possible Drill or Exercise involving all the local FDs at DCA?? Or, was there an actual accident that no one else has heard about??
Thanks,
David.
