2. For More Emergency Ground Resources - ambulance, fire and police:
- STARS phone number 1-888-888-4567 or 403-299-0932 (on big sign by Clubhouse)
- Press #1 for EMERGENCY
- Give BTSA STARS location code of 5313
- Briefly describe incident chest pain, short of breath, firearms training accident “shot in the leg during training exercise”
- NEVER say a person was just ‘shot’ with no other information because RCMP Emergency Response Team will come in and secure the area first. Initial statement should be that it is a “training accident.”
- This will delay delivery of any medical aid to injured person
- However, do not withhold information
- STARS will connect you to 911 and STARS will stay on the line to listen
They will ask many questions about location for ground resources:
- Buffalo Target Shooting Association in Sibbald Flats, Kananaskis, Alberta
- Located approximately 60 kilometers west of Calgary
- If on Highway 16 travelling west, take Route 68 (Sibbald Creek Trail Exit 143) south to get to Homestead Road
- Keep following road until get to a double gate
- Someone will be there to meet and guide
