We’ve gotten some reports within the last 15 minutes of a loud helicopter doing sweeps over Gambier, and The Thrill has confirmed that this is part of a training exercise being conducted by the College Township Fire Department and LifeFlight. A tipster also said that an ambulance is involved in the drill, which is taking place (at least partially) at the playground behind Wiggin Street Elementary School.

Update: While people were still at the playground about ten minutes ago, it appears as though the drill is winding down.
