When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that
is all in the line of work.

Every 15 minutes: The real dangers of Drinking and Driving presented to P.H. High School Students.
On a brisk November morning, two vehicles met head on in a deadly collision. Police and Fire personnel responded
immediately where they discovered two vehicles with several injured teenagers, and one deceased. The fire
personnel worked quickly to free the occupants, rushing one victim to a waiting ambulance and another was loaded
into the LifeFlight Helicopter just yards away.
Unfortunately this scenario occurs all too often in communities around the country. Thankfully this incident was
part of a national program that presents the dangers of drinking and driving to high schoolers and was entirely
staged in front of 300 students. The realistic reenactment can be seen on YouTube by clicking here.
