Members now safety seat technicians

       During the week of May 20^th, eleven White River Township Fire Department personnel were certified as Child Passengers Safety Technicians through Safe Kids USA.  This four day class included classroom lessons as well as hands-on installation of child restraints.  All eleven certified personnel will now be able to inspect child safety restraints for proper use and installation at all White River Township Fire Stations.  Also, all White River Township Fire Stations have been named Permanent Fitting Stations through the Automotive Safety Program, which is part of Riley Hospital and the Indiana University School of Medicine.  Permanent Fitting Stations are places where parents/care-givers can make an appointment to have their child safety seat inspected by a trained child passenger safety technician. The most current information is given to the participant and instruction on how to properly install the child safety seat for their child(ren). Permanent Fitting Stations are located in approximately 101 locations across Indiana.  For more information on this program, or to set an appointment for an inspection, please contact Fire Inspector Craig Zollars or Captain Charlie Fraker at (317) 888-8337 or by sending an e-mail by clicking either of their names in the article.
