Emergency Service Team Trains for Hostage Situation

Posted: Updated:

The Isabella County Emergency Services Team runs a life like scenario like this at least once a year.

Today's drill was a hostage situation in a Veteran's Affair Clinic.

For the scenario, the abandoned Mt. Pleasant Center stood in for the VA Clinic.

Nobody knew what was in store for them, not even those in charge inside the command center.

Everything was as real as it could be from the gear to the negotiators to the actors playing hostages.

9&10's Eric Lloyd and photojournalist Tony Zyber were in the Command Center today and have more details.
