Central Fire & EMS District Participates in Mock Accident at Colby Senior High School

Tuesday, May 19th, 2026 -- 5:00 PM

Central Fire & EMS District recently participated in a mock accident scenario with the Colby Senior High class designed to show the very real consequences of driving under the influence.

Students witnessed a powerful, real-life simulation from the initial crash response involving first responders, to law enforcement making an arrest, the involvement of a funeral home, and the heartbreaking moment of notifying a family that their loved one is no longer here.

These are moments no family should ever have to experience. With graduation right around the corner, celebrations should be filled with memories not tragedy. One decision can change lives forever.

The Colby School District encourages all students to make smart choices, plan ahead, and never get behind the wheel impaired. Call for a ride, use a designated driver, and look out for one another. Your future is bright, protect it.

Stay safe, make responsible choices, and enjoy celebrating this important milestone. Colby-Abbotsford Police Department, Aspirus MedEvac, and Maurina Schilling Funeral Homes assisted with the event.
