Car Seat Program
Public safety awareness for the general public, as most car seats are installed improperly. The program provides technical assistance for proper installation of car seats, as well as providing car seats for parents that cannot afford them. All car seats are checked against a master Recall List to verify usability. If children are present, they are weighed and measured to verify the correct car seat is being used for the child.

The training involved consists of approximately one week's worth of classes (32 hours plus a day long event) to become initially certified. The Certified Technician must renew every two years thereafter. The technician must remain proficient by attending car seat events each year.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. If you have problems or would like to have your car-seat inspected, contact MVFPD at the Administration office at 303-772-0710. 

USFA Kicks Off Smoking and Home Fires Campaign
The campaign includes a number of tools, available in English and Spanish, that fire departments can use for public education and awareness. The IAFC and the Fire and Life Safety Section urge members and others in the fire and emergency services community to review their public-education efforts around smoking and home fires and to use the resources provided as part of the campaign to enhance their programs as needed.
