Special exercise provides training, enhances emergency response preparedness

According to Sweetwater County Sheriff Detective Dick Blust Jr., “Operation Big Bang,” a special emergency incident training exercise staged in and near Rock Springs on November 3rd by local emergency response agencies and the Wyoming Military Department, kicked off last week with a literal “big bang” when the Sweetwater Bomb Squad blew up a junked van at the City Landfill southwest of Rock Springs.  






Nearly 90 people from the Wyoming Military Department participated, including elements of Wyoming National Guard Response Force, the Wyoming Joint Task Force, the Joint Incident Site Communications Capability, and the 84th Civil Support Team.






The exercise began at 8:30 AM and ended at around 4:30 pm.
