Yale’s first community disaster simulation provided much-needed information for both emergency crews and residents Sunday afternoon.
Firefighters went door-to-door handing out information to locals and surveying for special needs in the event of a crisis in the town.
A headquarters was established at the Yale and District Community Centre where people gathered to register and see simulated stations.
