Along with the emergency services, Baker Son and Towing donates the cars to be used in the Mock Crash. Mr. Gouker noted that this is of no cost to the district and it includes all donations and volunteers. The number of pieces that goes into the making of the Mock Crash all do it out of kindness. “The goal is to make it as real as possible,” Mr. Gouker said. Senior Meghan Rutzebeck, one of the actors involved in the display, views the mock crash as beneficial to the senior class. “I think it’s really necessary that we show we them this scenario,” Rutzebeck said. To begin the show, seniors could hear the 911 dispatch call over the loudspeaker. Soon after, sirens were heard in the distance and the fire truck and ambulance entered the parking lot. The students watched as the EMT workers rushed to get the students out the cars. Many watched in awe as their friends were pulled from the cars, bloodied by make up. Mr. Gouker’s goal was to make the entire scene as real as possible. The makeup, helicopter and EMT workers were all used to reach the goal.
