Expect to see smoke and ambulances at KCI as airport conducts training drill

When fire trucks and ambulances race to the tarmac at Kansas City International Airport Wednesday morning it will be for a full-scale disaster training exercise, not a real emergency. About 100 volunteers will wear makeup to make their fake injuries appear more realistic for first responders participating in the training. The airport says drills like this allow it to test its plans, solidify relationships with other agencies and ultimately protect airport passengers should a legitimate disaster ever take place.
