National Child Passenger Safety Week
2022-09-18 08:00 - 17:00
This week is National Child Passenger Safety Week and MetroWest Public Safety offers these passenger tips to keep your little ones safe:

If you’re pregnant, schedule a car seat installation with a certified child passenger safety technician before the child is born. You can find certified safety techs here: https://portalskcms.cyzap.net/dzapps/dbzap.bin/apps/assess/webmembers/secure/manage?webid=SKCMS&pToolCode=CERT-SEARCH&pAdd=Yes
Children should ride in the back seat at least through age 12
If your kids complain about wearing seat belts, don’t negotiate; don’t drive off until they buckle up
Always be consistent and wear your seat belt; driver safety belt use strongly influences whether your child will buckle up
The life of a car seat is from six to eight years; recalls for child seat manufacturers for the past 10 years can be found at https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/childseat.cfm.
Air bags can save the lives of older children and adults, but they can be fatal for young children. Follow guidelines for keeping younger children in the back seat.

Today is the beginning of Fire Prevention Week
2022-10-02 08:00
Today is the beginning of Fire Prevention Week. This year’s FPW campaign, “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape™”, works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe from home fires. Today’s homes burn faster than ever. You may have as little as two minutes or less to safely escape a home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Your ability to get out of a home during a fire depends on early warning from smoke alarms and advance planning.
