An early morning crash between a Metrolink commuter train and a truck on Feb. 25, 2015, created a massive fireball and caused four train cars to derail. Ventura County Medical Center initiated the MCI and polled nine area hospitals that immediately responded with Emergency Department capacity. More than two dozen patients were transported.

ReddiNet’s MCI, Messages and Bed Capacity modules on the Mobile and Desktop applications aided first responders and hospital staff with patient care and family reunification. Ventura County EMS stated that MCI training and numerous drills paid off.
