This program is one that has been received with great success by numerous High Schools throughout the state and is operated by members of the Greensboro Fire Department, High Point Fire Department and the Guilford County Fireman's Association.
Captain R. D. Faggart of Concord Department of Fire and Life Safety learned about the program and worked diligently to get the program delivered to Concord High School. It is hoped that Concord Fire and Life Safety will be able to produce a similar program and offer it for the students throughout Cabarrus County.
After several meetings by a very dedicated team of professionals the date was set and all cooperating agencies were ready to conduct the program. On Monday afternoon the VIP Team drove down from Greensboro to set up for the morning assembly for all of our Juniors and Seniors.
Early the next morning the remainder of the VIP for a VIP Staff arrived with tractor trailers carrying bleachers and the remainder of the materials used in the program.
The program consists of a morning assembly where speakers from the State Highway Patrol, Local Fire Department, Police Department, EMS, share their perspective and then a series of videos are shared and finally a mock funeral is conducted.
The CHS Fire Academy Honor Guard assisted with the Funeral Service.

The afternoon session consists of a simulated vehicle crash with injury. The vehicle crash is conducted as if it were the real event. All units respond to the event rolling hot with lights and sirens. Not a sound was heard from the students - it was soo realistic.
Many Thanks to all of the Public Safety professionals that assisted and participated.
I feel like the students learned a great deal.
