On tomorrow, Thursday, April 11, Westlake High School is hosting the National Every 15 Minutes program at the school, which includes a mock automobile accident in front of school at 9:30 a.m. The program is sponsored and coordinated by the Waldorf Volunteer Fire Department (WVFD), and is a national two-day program that encourages students to think about personal safety when driving, especially when alcohol or texting are involved.
As part of the simulated traffic accident, rescue workers will “treat” students who will experience the sensation of being involved in a tragic, alcohol-related driving collision. Members of the WVFD will handle fatalities on the scene while firefighters and paramedics remove the injured students with jaws-of-life tools. A Medevac Helicopter will land across from the school and be used to simulate a fly-out of an injured student. All of these measures are for simulation drill purposes only. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Westlake at 301-645-8857.
