Burning truck at center of emergency training exercise Multi-city first responders practice in a real-world scenario BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It was a tense moment Sept. 30 as plumes of black smoke poured out of the back of a burning pick-up truck parked at Exxon Travel Center at Interstate 25 and State Highway 52 in Frederick. Crews from multiple city fire departments – Fort Lupton, Brighton, Frederick, Keenesburg, and Boulder Mountain View – were on hand, but unsure how to respond. They didn’t know why the truck was burning. Did it contain a bomb? Was there a risk of a chemical spill? The Incident Command Center was quickly set up at the site while the Command Operations Center was set up at the nearby Carbon Valley Emergency Response Center, ready to be a communication and resource in case things went badly and a mass evacuation became necessary. Luckily, it was a test. It was the Weld County multi-city emergency response exercise scenario that is set up annually with emergency responders and several government agencies preparing for an actual emergency. “You have a call-in, a suspicious vehicle parked with smoke coming out of it. It is a real-world scenario and the emergency responders have no idea until they get there and start working through it, “ said Jennifer Finch, Weld County Public Information Officer. More than 14 agencies with over 100 people registered to participate in the real-life scenario with the fire department’s on-site Incident Command Center working together with the Emergency Response Center manager to come up with a plan to bring in resources to investigate.
At the Incident Command Center, two emergency responders assess the burning truck to call in resources and communicate with PHOTO BY BELEN WARD the EOC for a possible evacuation.
“The emergency responders had no idea what was going to happen this morning,” Finch said. “Bell Cell Training Exercise Consulting was brought in by the county, they planned the scenario. No one knows what it’s going to be, it is real-world and they don’t know what is going to be thrown at them. The scenarios are to see what works and doesn’t work.” Ideally, the Incident Command Center (ICC) works together with the Emergency Response Center (EOC) in event of a disaster. Incident Command Center is the site of disaster where emergency responders arrive to assess and investigate the situation, she said. An ICC manager communicates with EOC for resources and also if people need to be evacuated. EOC is where the agencies work

together to get the resources and move people. Meanwhile, an infrastructure team works to get good information out to the teams on the ground. The Geospatial Information System (GIS) team is the web application team. When Weld County floods hit in 2013, GIS was valuable to have on the team to move people, Finch said. GIS creates the city mapping with population numbers. The mapping communicates to officials how many people are in an area and how many houses are impacted. It tells them how many shelters are available too. Other support The test wasn’t just for fire crews. A group of agencies, including the American Red Cross, set up in case a population needed to suddenly leave

The agencies are set up to move people to shelters, a school, or a stadium, etc. Also, it set up supplies such as oxygen for certain groups, or where to move people with animals, or transportation for people who can’t leave their homes. The test included other functions as well. A finance group was on hand to approve expenses in an emergency such as water needed and helicopters for a fire.

LaVernne (Godel) Flitner
July 11, 1931 – September 13, 2021
LaVernne was born in Saratoga, Wyoming on July 11, 1931, the only child of Alfred and Viola (Dahl) Godel. She lived in numerous places throughout her childhood to include Scribner Nebraska, Como Colorado and various places throughout the South Park area in Colorado. She was the Valedictorian of West High School and graduated at the age of 16. She received a full ride academic scholarship to Denver University, where she completed a Bachelor of Business Administration. She completed her student teaching at Denver West High School with exemplary evaluations, and then went on to teach in Cortez, Colorado and then Northeastern Junior College in Sterling, Colorado. She married Don Flitner on June 10, 1956, in Denver, Colorado, and shortly thereafter moved to San Rafael California where her husband was stationed in the Navy. While in California their son Mark (1958) and daughter Debbie (1960) were born. Upon returning to Colorado another daughter Mickey (1963) was added to the family. LaVernne loved her work in accounting and truly and thoroughly enjoyed working with numbers. She worked most of her life in the accounting field working for a radio station in California, Charles A Taylor CPAs in Brighton, Harpel Oil, and her own business, Hudson Bookkeeping, Inc. LaVernne was proud to have both of her daughters work in her office at one time or another over the years. She was instrumental in the purchase and opening of Y-Knot Drive Inn in Hudson, Colorado where the family, including their three children worked learning to cook, take orders, make change, and develop a work ethic. LaVernne was a marvelous cook
and loved to try new recipes. She also enjoyed history, museums, impromptu camping adventures, fishing, square dancing, and crossword puzzles. To have her on your team playing any trivia game guaranteed victory. Her hair was always perfectly quaffed, as Thursdays were set aside to have her hair styled by her very good friend, Vicki, followed by lunch at the Pepper Pod in Hudson. This tradition continued for many years. LaVernne was a member of the Brighton Jaycees, the Green Valley Grange, and the Mile-High Rock Club. She enjoyed traveling, learned to play golf, began making jewelry with precious stones she unearthed, shaped and polished on her many rockhounding forays. She retired reluctantly at age 68 for the first time, then completely by age 80. Later in life LaVernne became a home body and enjoyed spending her time at home with many visits from family members. She spent her last moments at home as was her wish surrounded by her loving family. LaVernne is survived by her son, Mark (Jodie) Flitner; daughters, Debbie Chumley (Jason Gibb), Michele/Mickey (Alvin) Gray; and eight grandchildren, Amanda (Will) Hensley, Joseph (Mandy) Reger, J.D. (Lindsay) Flitner, Zach Flitner, Matthew (Shelby) Dill, Luke Dill, Kelsey (Ben) Whitcomb, and Jarrod (Lauren) Chumley; eight great grandchildren, Katie, Tasha, Cassie, Lindsay, Aubrey, Mazie, Charles and Chuck. She leaves us with the expectation of three more great grandchildren on the way. She is preceded in death by both of her parents; husband, Don; and son-in-law, Chuck.

Leo Lavern Avey
October 1, 1933 – September 25, 2021
Leo Avey 87, passed away peacefully to be with the Lord on Saturday, September 25, 2021. Leo will always be remembered as a loving and caring husband, father and grandfather by all that loved him and knew him. He was born on October 1st, 1933 to Leonard and Alice (Venard) Avey. Leo is survived by his lovely wife of 68 years Colleen June (Kissler) Avey and 4 Children: Lyle (Carolyn) Avey, Pamela (James) Fuller, Paula (Robert) Cook, and Alison (Erik) Keefer. He has 7 grandchildren, 14 Great Grand Children and 1 Great Great Grandchild on the way. He was preceded in death by his parents. In 1951, Leo graduated from Brighton High School which he lettered in Basketball & was very active in sports. He married Colleen June (Kissler) Avey on June 7, 1953 in Brighton, CO. He started work with Public Service Company in December of 1953. In 1972, Leo was transferred with Public Service Company to Leadville, CO and in 1980 transferred back to the Denver area to manage the 38th and Holly location. At that time, he and his wife moved back to Brighton, where he retired in the summer of 1988 from Xcel Energy Company.
Leo was involved with the Platte Valley Rifle Association in target shooting with his lovely wife. In 1964 they moved to Fort Lupton, CO to live on the Farm with his folks, which at that time they took up bowling and they traveled all over the United States bowling in the National Bowling Association tournaments. In 1987, Colleen took up archery hunting to participate with Leo. They were always doing things together. Leo retired in April of 2019 from bowling which he enjoyed very much. He was a member of the Elks Lodge, JC’s and the Brighton Senior Center where he was a driver for outings, which was very enjoyable for him. His competitive nature throughout his life was obvious to everyone who knew him in bowling, rifle shooting and family get togethers. Cribbage was his favorite game with family and friends.

TRAINING FROM PAGE 1
When the emergency response exercise was completed Merrie Gardner, Emergency Management Coordinator at EOC, and her team evaluated what worked and did not work at the Frederick site. “Communication between the field response and the EOC is often one of the most challenging aspects of exercises and incidents, and I was pleased with how well it went yesterday. At the end of the exercise, we compared our situation reports and they were very consistent. Another objective was to set up the EOC within 30 minutes of activation, and we accomplished this goal in just under 20 minutes.” The team identified a couple of areas for improvement. They need to continue to identify people to work in key roles at EOC. “One of those is the resource mobilization and logistics section, which is responsible for supplies, resources, and facilities that might be needed in a disaster. The processes we have in place worked well in the exercise, but in a different type of incident this section is likely to be very busy, so we anticipate a need for more people to fill this role,” said Gardner. The exercise also pointed out the need to improve some technologies in the Emergency Operations Center. “We utilized some data and mapping display tools yesterday for the first time, and quickly realized PAID ADVERTISEMENT
What does retirement security mean to you? October is National Retirement Security Month. If you’re still working, what can you do to help yourself achieve security during your retirement years? For starters, contribute regularly to your taxadvantaged accounts, such as your IRA and 401(k). And put in enough to your 401(k) to earn your employer’s match if one is offered. Also, look for ways to potentially boost your retirement income. If appropriate, you could delay taking Social Security to maximize your monthly payments. You also might consider investment vehicles that can provide you with lifetime income. Here’s another tip: Budget for health care costs, which could reach several thousand dollars a year during your retirement. You might also want to consider obtaining some type of insurance to protect yourself against the costs of long-term care. And to really feel secure during retirement, make sure your estate plans include measures to help protect your finances if something unexpected were to happen to you. Review these plans with your legal and financial professionals, and possibly your tax advisor, too Taking these and other steps may free yourself to help you enjoy what may be one of the most rewarding times of your life.

it would help to have additional screens and the ability to display information to participants in the EOC in multiple ways. We will also work on adding a more efficient printing capability and some paper maps to our EOC to make sure we build in some redundancy in case one technology doesn’t work,” said Gardner. “Overall, I think everything went well in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). One of our primary objectives was to maintain situational awareness and a shared operating picture, and I think we accomplished that,” said Gardner.”
