Montreal’s ability to handle a disaster was put to the test on Sunday as emergency workers held a simulation of a major forest fire.
70 members of the Canadian Armed Forces, medical students from Universite de Montreal   and doctors in residency from multiple hospitals took part in the drill, which was modelled after the devastating fire that struck Fort McMurray, AB in 2016.
Hospital staff were put through a Code Orange, simulating the conditions of a huge influx of patients.
