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 Summer Health Day '91 Beutel tackles health issues Texas A&M's A.P.
