Bluefield Beckley Oak Hill, WV, October 14, 2026 —

A mock school bus turnover training exercise in Glen Daniel, West Virginia, brought together Raleigh County EMS, school bus drivers and students from the Academy of Careers and Technology (ACT) to practice emergency response procedures.

The simulation was designed to prepare participants for real disaster scenarios. It provided a realistic environment in which participants practiced rescue and triage procedures, according to the information provided about the exercise.

The exercise involved three identified groups: EMS personnel, school bus drivers and ACT students. The available account does not specify how many people took part, what individual roles participants performed, or how the training scenarios were organized. It also does not provide the date or duration of the exercise.

Details about the equipment used, the specific rescue techniques practiced, or the outcome of the simulation were not included. The account also does not identify who organized the exercise or whether any other agencies participated.

The stated purpose was preparedness: participants practiced rescue and triage in a setting intended to resemble a disaster scenario. The description does not provide further information about how the training may be used in future emergency response or whether additional exercises are planned.
