2010 CERT Invitational

2010 CERT Invitational: "On September 11, 2010, the Burbank Fire Department hosted the 2010 CERT Invitational. Six teams competed in high intensity skills challenges based solely on the Citizen Corps CERT curricula. Awards were given for the highest scoring team at each station as well as awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall finishes. The name of the overall winning team got bragging rights - their name will be the first engraved on a perpetual plaque for what is expected to become an annual tradition.



The CERT teams tested their skills by competing in a number of skill stations that were timed and judged by a panel of experts.



The skills stations in the event included: fire suppression, victim triage and casualty collection area, search and rescue operations, cribbing and victim extrication, disaster medical operations and a comprehensive written exam."
