Drive smart was message from first responders to ACHS students ACHS students saw Operation 10-46 (emergency ten-code for accident with injury) performed in hopes of students staying safe during special events as semester comes to a close. Click on headline for complete story By Linda Waggener Saturday, April 21, 2018 -- Prom night at ACHS -- is a night of excitement for students, but also for first responders who know from experience that poor driving choices can result in injury or death. A training exercise, Operation 10-46 (emergency ten-code for accident with injury) was held to give students an up-close look at the devastation that can happen from a single split-second wrong choice. On the football field, a bad vehicle wreck scene was demonstrated in the 10-46 exercise, an injury accident requiring all first responders to come to the scene and treat victims. The scene was of wrecked vehicles, actors, both students and teachers, performing real-life drama. As students walked over the hill from the high school and got within earshot, the actors began screaming for help. As the drama played out, one was arrested, there were two fatalities flown out by helicopter, a few transported by ambulance and two walked away from the accident. The event is meant to show young drivers the hazards of making poor choices. First responders and the school staff hoped to impress upon students the vital importance of making good choices to stay safe - before, during and after the special event. Preston Gaskin, EMT Instructor at ACHS, told students, "You are not invincible. We want you to enjoy yourselves and to make good choices so that you stay safe." Students were advised: -Make smart choices! Ignore the cell phone while you are driving. No call or message is worth your life nor the life of others you may come in contact with. -Make smart choices! No joint nor drink is worth your life nor the life of others you may come into contact with. - It's your choice - be smart about what you are doing when driving, and when riding with a driver who could be impaired.
