Huddersfield Fire Station paid a visit to Kirklees College to highlight the dangers of fatal car crashes.
A crowd of around 100 students gathered to see the demonstration with five volunteers willing to be a part of the demonstration. Rescuers cut into the car pretending it had crashed and explaining one had died.
Crew member Andy Wooler said: “We went through what would happen and all the services that would have to be called out to give them an idea of how many resources are used even in the case of a small collision.
For example, even if it was just the case of one person being trapped in a car we would require two fire engines, police and an ambulance.
“We also explained how police would have to tell the victim’s family that their child had died, which was hard hitting. Overall, it went really well and we had lots of questions.”
