That line of dead and bloodied bodies wasn’t real. The Fire Department held a mass casualty drill Thursday morning at the Huntington Beach Mall, 7777 Edinger Ave. The scenario was a 5.1 earthquake occurring two miles offshore.

The exercise was done to evaluate emergency response, field communications and patient care and transportation.
