Bullhead City Firefighters, shown to the left, are participating in a training drill for mass casualty incidents. A mass casualty refresher curriculum is conducted each year in April as the department prepares for the Laughlin River Run. This training includes reinforcing the new mass casualty identification cards and having the firefighters walk through the mass casualty trailer. The trailer is equipped with backboards, an oxygen tree system for ten patients, bandages of all sizes, blankets, cervical collars, and head beds. The trailer ​also
contains logistical supplies such as cones, tarps, flashlights, and lifters for moving patients on a large scale emergency.
