Pleasantville is a busy suburb of 25,000 people and is located just 10 miles outside of Metro, a thriving city of 1.6 million people. In Pleasantville, the majority of emergency response calls are for minor motor vehicle accidents that occur on the highway that loops around the suburb. In years past, the fire, EMS, and police have trained together to respond to any potentially major emergency incidents because of Pleasantville's proximity to a major city, the interstate, and the train tracks that run beside the interstate. In recent months, all three departments also have been training together to respond to any potential terrorist incidents. It is a windy winter day in January at Pleasantville.
