First responders take part in plane crash simulation at airport

Imagine a plane crash happening right here in Kalispell. A plane with nearly 50 people crashing near an airstrip, rather than landing on it. People with varying degrees of injuries, confused, hurt and in need of help. The plane catches fire and some are still unable to move from their injuries — unable to get to safety. Who would respond? And how?
