Department to you personally, for your efforts in helping us start our Community
Emergency Response Team (CERT). You provided realistic materials, and also
assisted with your time and creative efforts, in making the final training day of our
CERT class realistic and challenging. The injury moulages you created for the
simulation of emergency medical injuries during the "final exercise" was excellent...."
Chris Wright, Amgen Corporation
and BICEPP Coordinator critiques Burke's Blood Bath ...

comments on Burke's Blood Bath
"Lisa, as the project manager on this exercise I just wanted to tell you thank you. You
and your staff did a wonderful job on our volunteers. This was in fact the best effort
we have ever put on. We have gotten praises from the Executive
Director's office on down. Looking out at our cast members, I could hardly believe
my eyes. What excellent work, indeed! On behalf of our team ...your work was
brilliant, efficient and extremely useful to our exercise.... Because we aren't average
people, but rather responders to emergencies of every type, I believe your moulage
to have been an essential part of our job at AIREX 2004, and will prove beneficial to
us in real time situations. Thank you again for your efforts and kind contribution to
AIREX 2004.
Ilene Yamas, Explorer, Los Angeles County Fire Dept.
states of Burke's Blood Bath "I think that we all retain our knowledge better because
of the hands on experience of good disaster simulation with moulage incorporated
into each training drill."
Kimberly Burke, Explorer, Los Angeles County Fire Dept.
Says: Burkes's Blood Bath provides professionalism and realism to all of Los
Angeles County and other important drills across the United States and adds a
challenge to the Firefighters and rescuers during these drills. The realism of the
moulage and simulation for these drills are absolutely amazing!!! I have never seen
anything like it. As a part-time employee for Burke's Blood Bath and an Explorer for
the Los Angeles County Fire Dept., we travel across the nation to take part in these
drills to help train myself and others who are interested in the field of Firefighting. It is
important that we play a part and participate in these valuable drills to get a feel for
what may really happen some day. Burke's Blood Bath believes in being prepared
and what a better way to help to prepare us than to participate in these drills.

Ward F. Wagenseller, RN, NREMT-P
Loma Linda University Medical Center ATLS/Trauma Education Coordinator says of
Burke's Blood Bath..."Wow!, I couldn't believe my eyes when looking at our "victims"
with various trauma injuries. If I hadn't known for myself, I would have thought the
injuries to be real. This moulage made for excellent testing conditions of our resident
doctors and nurses and because of the professionalism of your work, offered a nice
challenge for the testing for that day. We've needed you for a long time, we're just
glad we found you now!!! Because of your work, I think we will have one of the best
testing facilities around. I cannot thank you enough"!!!
Michelle Constant of Constant & Associates Homeland Security Consultants
says: "I was completely impressed with your professional work and passed along only
positive comments about you and your company. You are GREAT! I think we are all
hitting ourselves in the forehead for not finding you sooner. Everyone was so
impressed with your experience and reputation that they wanted to hire you on the
spot. Apparently, you are well known by most Fire Depts. and come highly
recommended in this industry. Please give me a call and let's talk about what you
can do for us."
Paul Greiner, Superintendent of Operations at Ontario International Airport
Thank you for your superb "moulage" service last night for the Ontario International
Airport (ONT) 2005 Full-scale Emergency Exercise (AIREX).This was ONT's first
night exercise, and by most accounts we are told it was a success. In the last 21
years, I too have attended many emergency exercises. By far, your moulage is the
most realistic, and effective, I've ever seen. I was amazed at the number of Volunteer
Victims you were able to single handedly dress; all within an hour of your arrival. You
came to ONT affordable, prepared and full of energy. The victims quickly felt the
mood of disaster with their artificial wounds. In the debrief following, you moulage
received many compliments. Dollar for dollar, the value of Burke's Blood Bath made
the ONT 2005 AIREX more believable, effective and successful!
George Santulli, U. S. Department of State, Washington D.C.
Lisa, your hosting and help during our recent visit to the Redondo Beach Fire Dept.
was an incredibly useful experience for our guests from Indonesia. It is training like
this that is woefully needed in Indonesia and it is hoped that once the program airs,
that such training opportunities may be made available to citizens of their country.
Without the experience of Burke's Blood Bath, the Redondo Beach Fire Dept. and
your expertise in the area of Disaster Preparedness, this could never have been
pulled off. You truly do run a professional and informative service. It is my hope that
we can one day meet again for further Emergency Preparedness Training that will
benefit other countries such as Indonesia.
Riveria United Methodist Church, Redondo Beach, CA
Wow! We want to thank you so very much for your time and the information that you
provided in your Free Disaster Preparedness Workshop. What an eye opener! I
could not imagine going through a disaster such a Hurricane Katrina or even a major
earthquake here in Southern California. However, I am now prepared if one should
ever come along. Many people stopped to talk to me after your workshop and
informed me of how much we take for granted and how they were not prepared
previously. Now, they have been informed and most of those people are planning on
going home to prepare their disaster family plans. Because of you and your
information, you may well have saved a life. We all wish to thank you once again.
Also your disaster preparedness kits were not only affordable, but a good item for
the office or car. Several people will be calling you to order them for Christmas and
Birthday presents. What a GREAT idea! Thank You Again!
Your expertise and efficiency in applying realistic and believable Moulage to the
Volunteer Victims was exemplary and extremely effective which greatly contributed to
the overall success of the 2007 AIREX which was deemed on of the best full-scale
emergency exercises EVER conducted at LA/ONT.
We thank you again and look forward to our continued excellent business
relationship that we have had over the years here at LA/Ontario International Airport
well into the future.
