Child Car Seat Installation

According to www.edmunds.com and www.consumerreports.org 82% of kids are at risk due to improper installation of car seats. Please Contact Us for an appointment to have a trained firefighter install or inspect your car seat. For more resources, check out www.seatcheck.org. This site will help you find inspection locations, tips, brochures, and a seat recall list.

According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), more than 4,000 Americans die each year in fires, and approximately 25,000 are injured. Developing and practicing a home fire escape plan that everyone understands can mean the difference between life and death.


What to do During a Fire

In the event of a fire, remember - time is the biggest enemy and every second counts! Escape plans help you get out of your home quickly. In less than 30 seconds a small flame can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes for a house to fill with thick black smoke and become engulfed in flames.

Once a fire has started in your home, there is no time to plan how to get out. Sit down with your family today and make a step-by-step plan for escaping a fire that might occur in your home.
