    Firefighters from the Mesa Fire Department review information at the ‘rubble pile venue’, which was created for a simulated improvised nuclear device detonation at the old Phoenix Fire Training Academy during Vigilant Guard here, Nov. 3. Vigilant Guard is an exercise to train, test and evaluate the preparedness of state and federal agencies in the event of an emergency Oct. 31- Nov. 7. The ‘rubble pile venue’ is giant pile of debris along with stacked connex boxes built to simulate a collapsed office building. Life-like mannequins buried beneath pieces of cement, as well as live actors painted bloody and wounded with movie makeup lie around awaiting rescue. “This will familiarize everyone in case a real event was to take place,” said Bobby Lax, deputy general manager of Response International Group, who was also in charge of constructing the rubble pile.
