Program raises drunk driving awarenes
By Karen Praslicka
The Battalion
Bryan Fire Department, EMS target teens
A program to be presented by
i program
the Bryan Fire Department and
Emergency Medical Service is
designed to make students
aware of the tragedies caused by
drinking and driving before stu
dents become involved with al
cohol.
Bryan Fire Chief Jim Bland
said the program targets primar
ily teen-agers, but he hopes to
reach Texas A&M students as
well.
The 45-minute program con
sists of a graphic audio-visual
presentation showing actual lo
cal crash scenes involving drunk
drivers. Bland said the program
is graphic so it will "really send
the message."
Another part of the program is
to use firefighters as role models
to make the presentation to the
younger students.
Bland said firefighters will be
seen by the young people as
"helpers" rather than authority
figures.
Local stories will be used so
citizens will be able to see how
drunk driving affects their com
munity.
Bland said Mothers Against
Drunk Driving and the Brazos
County attorney will be involved
with the program to provide in
formation for the visual presen
tation.
Handouts and posters against
drunk driving will be given to
the students to provide additio
nal reminders.
But Bland said the biggest part
of the program is a one-on-one
question and answer session be
tween the students, firefighters
and EMS personnel presenting
the program.
Bryan citizens should feel
safer as a result of the program
