The Arvada Fire Protection District is please to announce a service available for the parents of small children. The Arvada Fire Protection District has trained firefighters at all of our fire stations who are ready to install car seats and to teach parents the correct and safe way to keep their child restrained in an automobile. There are many valuable tips our firefighters can give regarding child restraint systems and will also teach the parent how to install the car seat in the vehicle to insure that the parent is comfortable installing the seat after our quick and easy session. We encourage parents to call the Arvada Fire District Headquarters at 303-424-3012 for contact information for the fire station nearest you or for more information on the program.
