Safety Seat Inspections - New Law in Effect!
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tells us that half of the child car seats in use today are installed incorrectly without parents realizing it. Nationally over 1,000 children under age 10 die and 160,000 are injured each year as passengers in motor vehicles. The lives of you and your family could depend on using seat belts and child car seats correctly.
The Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue would be happy to inspect your car seat to ensure that your child is properly restrained. Complementary inspections are offered every Wednesday between the hours of 10:00 am and 1:00 pm. Please email msmith@steamboatsprings.net or call 879-7170 for an appointment or more information.
Remember children under the age of 12 should never ride in the front seat of a car with a passenger air bag.

Smoke Detector Program
The Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue realizes that properly installed and operating smoke detectors in a home can provide a valuable early warning to occupants in the event of a fire. The department offers a free smoke detector and installation to anyone who is unable or would like more information on home safety. To schedule an installation or to request a detector contact the fire station.
The Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue offers a basic "Friends and Family" class to anyone interested in learning the basics of CPR. SSFR also
can certify you and/or your organization in the "Heartsaver" course. Please call 879-7170 or email msmith@steamboatsprings.net for more information or to schedule a training.
All station tours are done by members of SSFR and therefore require a two-week advance notice. To be put on the schedule contact the fire station.
