This was a great job by all those involved - First off, Mike, thanks for doing such a thorough job of photographing the Demonstration.  Thanks to the Fire Department, Fairfax Rescue, Sheriff's Department and The A. W. Rich Funeral Home and BFA Administration.

I have heard of crashed cars being placed on a school lawn to remind our young people, but have not heard of any group putting on such an excellent Demo.  Hopefully all those who saw this in person will remember it and maybe it will save a life or two.

Thank you to all the caring firefighters, EMT's, and funeral home directors for doing this!  I'm sure their jobs aren't easy, and I applaud them all for participating in this drill to demonstrate that they care, and hopefully to teach a lesson to all those kids and adults watching!  This seems like a much better way to learn than the hard way!
