Battalion Chief Chuck Wilson of the Manhattan Beach Fire Dept.
accolades Burke's Blood Bath:

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 ...
"the Earthquake simulation and moulage was great and added a lot of realism to
our testing each day. We are looking forward to working with Burke's Blood Bath for even more challenging
simulations in the future."
Jon Delgado, LAX Airfield Operations
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.
Wayne Britton, Superintendent of Operations at Van Nuys Airport
says of Burke's Blood Bath... I want to tell you again how much I appreciated your help with the 2004 Van Nuys
Airport AIREX 2004. Your experience & professionalism were realized from the very beginning. You attention to
detail was appreciated and we very much look forward to working with you on our future drills. Thanks Again for
your contribution!
Ward F. Wagenseller, RN, NREMT-P, Loma Linda Medical University
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.

Comments: I've seen this company in the news and even in magazines, but never really considered using them
until I talked to a colleague who highly recommended them. Well, I can only tell you that this company is
everything it says it is and more. Affordability and realism to prevent critical incident stress is tops! They even
spoke to our people about disaster preparedness and why they do the job that they do and how important it is.
We got our money's worth & more! I will be using them again!

Comments: Burke's Blood Bath hosted our Indonesian Team of Reporters in Redondo Beach recently and
gave us the best of the best of a show in their disaster exercise. We will now take that information back to
Indonesia to show their people how to prepare for a disaster. Burke's Company is a great company to work with
and tops in Disaster Preparedness. We hope to visit again soon.

Comments: Burke's Blood Bath was a good tool to use for our disaster exercise recently. The came fully
prepared and dug right in and took full charge to make our most recent simulation a success. Afterwards, they
spoke with the public on Disaster Preparedness. For a business to do all of this in one package at an
affordable cost was the BEST! We WILL be calling BBB again, really soon! Wonderful people!!!!

people from Indonesia were equally impessed. This company does a valuable service to our country. The
realism is unbelievable. This company should advertise, because they are the absolute best at what they do!!!
Hopefully we will cross paths again soon! Keep up the good work!

Comments: I had the chance to supervise a recent exercise that used this company and I could not believe my
eyes! WOW! If I didn't know better, I would have rushed to the scene and treated these wounds by myself. This
lady knows what she is doing!!! We plan to use this company for some of our upcoming exercises and we
recommend them to anyone wanting to add realism to their exercises.
Rated By: Brian From: Los Angeles,CA Date: 7/14/05 11:40:00 AM
Comments: I checked out their website and thought they couldn't possibly do their exercises as real as the
ones pictured. I was wrong. We got everything we paid for and more for our exercise. This company is GREAT
and they are doing a good service by helping to prevent Critical Incident Stress. ALL Departments should utilize
such services with their exercises. We will continue with this one. They are the absolute best!!!!!
Rated By: Brennan From: Phoenix Date: 7/7/05 11:14:00 AM
Comments: This is the 2nd time we've used this company and I can't tell you enough about the comments from
the Chief on down. Everyone was impressed and by the comments, I can tell that we will be using this company
again. If you think the realism on their website is realistic, you've seen nothing until you have them come out
and work on your victims in person for your exercise. These people are the best at what they do and they are
extremely affordable for any department. We recommend, give this place a call!!!!

people can add the realism to your drill or exercise that you would never imagine. They should have a

of our Fire Dept. and have never, never, ever seen such realistic wounds for exercises. This company has the
expertise! I personally refer them to everyone who needs to put on an exercise. They should advertise their
services more. I'm still in shock!
