The Vernon Fire Department is offering free child seat and booster seat checks Tuesday. The event will run from 3 to 4:15 p.m. at the fire hall at 3401-30th St. “All children must use a child seat or a booster
seat that is appropriate for their weight and age until their ninth
birthday,” said Chris Kulak, fire training officer. The Justice Institute of B.C., ICBC and BCAA are
working with the fire department to hold this free event so seven
firefighters can be certified for their child passenger safety educator
tech certificate. “For some of the firefighters, this will be a refresher course on how to do child seat checks,” said Kulak. “For others, it’s supervised training. For all,
it’s an opportunity to serve the public, keep kids safe and provide a
valuable service to parents.”
