The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) is seeking volunteers for an upcoming Metrorail emergency response exercise that will occur on Sunday, April 28, 2019 at Friendship Heights Station on Metrorail's Red Line. 
 
Volunteers for this exercise will serve as actors playing the role of passengers on a train that is stranded in the tunnel between Friendship Heights and Tenleytown Metro Stations. This exercise will provide the District of Columbia Fire/EMS Department and WMATA an opportunity to practice its response and evacuation operations for an incident involving a train stranded in a tunnel.
WMATA is trying to get up to 100 volunteers. Please note that volunteers must be at least 13 years old, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
