In this gripping session from WEM22, firefighter and paramedic Kevin Grange shares invaluable lessons from a real-life mass casualty incident—a hot air balloon crash in Jackson Hole. Drawing on his extensive experience in wilderness and emergency medicine, Kevin challenges traditional approaches to MCIs, offering a new evidence-based perspective on triage, treatment, and response efficiency. Through practical case studies and insights into performance psychology, this session equips emergency responders with the skills to stay calm, act decisively, and maximise patient survival in chaotic environments.
