Sevierville Fire Department Child Car Safety Seat Inspection Scheduled

The City of Sevierville Fire Department (SFD) has scheduled a Child Car Safety Seat Inspection from 9:00AM-12:00PM on Saturday, December 10, 2016 at the Main Station downtown (122 Prince Street) in Sevierville.

SFD firefighters will also be available to provide fire safety tips, demonstrate proper use of fire extinguishers and installation of smoke alarms.

Nationally, over 90% of child car safety seats are improperly installed. In fact, over 40% of child fatalities in traffic accidents are due to improperly installed child car safety seats. Certified SFD technicians will be available to perform inspections of the seats, demonstrate proper installation techniques and offer general assistance.

Inspectors have also learned that many child car safety seats are no longer safe due to past accidents, the age of the seat, manufacturer recalls or missing parts.

Please join the SFD in this effort to keep our children as safe as possible while riding in a car.
