On November the 9th 2023 nearly 40 first responders from Grundy County, with supporting partners from throughout northern missouri met in Trenton to simulate an emergency situation striking Trenton.
The simulated emergency dealt with a hazardous materials release and fire situation that required the evacuation of parts of the area and the logistical challenges that came with such an evacuation.
