Firefighters, Police To Hold Dirty Bomb Drill
Exercise Scheduled For Tuesday Morning

POSTED: 3:46 p.m. EDT June 9, 2003

GAITHERSBURG, Md. -- It's a frightening scenario -- a dirty bomb goes off in the middle of a car show at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. But when it happens Tuesday morning, it will be only a test.

Firefighters from Montgomery, Fairfax, Prince George's, Frederick and Howard counties will take part in the drill, along with members of the Montgomery County and Maryland State Police.

Federal agencies will also participate. The fairgrounds were picked to minimize impact on people nearby.

Montgomery Fire spokesman Pete Piringer said there will be a real explosion of some sort, and volunteers will act as victims. It will be a simulation as if the county were on Code Red alert.

Piringer said the goal is to not only to practice responding to such an event, but to also reassure the community. He said their motto is "Stay calm, take cover, be alert" -- words he says apply not only to a terrorist attack, but to other disasters like floods, winter storms and tornadoes.
