As part of our COVID-19 preparedness, prevention and response measures, we continue to limit access to our facilities. This ensures that our personnel stay healthy so that we can remain fully staffed to respond to fires and other emergencies in the community.
Unfortunately, this severely impacts our ability to provide in-house child passenger safety seat checks. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but we must prioritize our missions in this uncertain time.
Please refer to the video below for guidance on child passenger safety seat installations.
Child Passenger Safety Seat Checks
Seven out of ten children in child safety seats are not properly secured in their seat; either the seat is not properly installed or the restraint system is adjusted improperly. Our firefighters are certified to assist you with the proper installation of your child safety seat. The goal of this program is to educate drivers and families on the proper and safe use of child passenger safety seats.
Monroe County maintains a list of Car Seat Inspection Stations. Click Here.
