A local emergency management put their services to the test.

Will Paveleck, EMA Coordinator for DeWitt County, told Regional Radio that he was tasked with creating a full-scale bus accident exercise to test the county's fire departments and paramedics. 

He says the emergency services always have things they can work on, but overall, the exercise went very well and even finished ahead of schedule. Paveleck also expresses gratitude to the Clinton Auto Auction and all the volunteers who made this happen. 

Paveleck notes that the county and the state require them to do exercises of this nature every 6 to 12 months.
