Child safety seat inspections

       During the week of May 20^th through the 23^rd, firefighters from the White River Township Fire Department, in conjunction with Safe Kids USA, will be certifying as child passenger seat technicians. The certification course will last four days and combines classroom instruction, hands-on work with car seats, and vehicle practicals.  On May 23, 2008, in conjunction with the class, the White River Township Fire Department will host a community safety seat checkup event between 12:00pm and 2:00pm at Station 53 located at 850 South Mullinix Road in Greenwood (State Road 37 and Smith Valley Road). This safety seat inspection is by appointment only and there will be 7 appointments every half hour with the last appointments starting at 1:30.  To make an appointment you may call the White River Township Fire Department Headquarters at 317-888-8337. During the Safety Seat inspection, firefighters will demonstrate the proper use and installation of child restraints and safety belts and then teach these skills to parents.  Upon successful completion of this course firefighters will be certified as a CPS Safety Seat Technician for two years.
