The event, which is being run by Warwickshire County Councils Fire and Rescue Service in partnership with Brake, will take place on Thursday 22 January at Kineton High School between 8.50am and 2.45pm.
During the day fire crews will talk to young people about the dangers of driving and will be showing them the consequences a road traffic collision can cause with a live extrication.
Watch Manager, Mark Styzaker said: “The aim of the event is to show young people the devastating consequences dangerous driving or even drink driving can cause.
"The event will be very interactive, giving the young people an opportunity to get involved in a live simulation of a road traffic collision, talk about road safety and hear about how the road safety charity, Brake are campaigning for better driving and safer roads in the UK.
“We are hoping that the young people will respond positively to the event and think twice before getting into a car where the driver has been drinking or is driving dangerously.”
