Driver Safety Education

The Mesa Fire Department started a Student Driver Safety Program because fire department personnel became very concerned with young people being seriously injured and/or killed in what are PREVENTABLE collisions.  The instructors teach students in all six high schools and Mesa Community College.  They show the students the consequences of poor decision making.
