Car Seat Safety Information
Car
seats are an important part of keeping your children safe while
driving. Often times, however, they are improperly installed, the wrong
size, or have been recalled due to safety concerns. Following the
manufacturers directions and precautions are a good start for helping
you install your seating options safely. We, at Union Fire/Rescue, have
been trained to instruct you on Car Seat Safety and will check your
installation for free. Please contact us to schedule an appointment.
Here are a few sites to help you make informed decisions about car seat
safety.
Teaching your children how and when to call 911 can be a lifesaver, not only for you and your family, but for friends and neighbors. Knowing when to call 911 for help can be confusing and scary for small children. Here are a few tips to share with them about calling 911:
Talk to your children about what a true emergency is and isn't. A fire
or intruder definitely is, however a skinned knee or broken toy isn't.
Calling 911 as a prank is punishable by law in most states, and in
Boone County, if 911 is accidentally called or pranked, chances are
that a police officer will be responding to verify it.
Make sure your child knows that when talking to a 911 operator, it is
ok to give their name and address if requested. This can sometimes be a
conflicting set of lessons for a child as they are often taught not to
talk to strangers.
Have a list of emergency names, contact phone numbers, and other vital
information that is easily accessible to your child. This will help
them and 911 responders to make contact with other people if needed.
Teach your child to know their phone number and, at minimum, their
street address so that they can give that information as needed.
First Aid and Safety Information
In an effort to bring user friendly information about multiple types of emergency and first aid situations, we will link to other large sources of broad based information. One such good source that is unique is KidsHealth.org because they have information sheets that can be printed for quick reference, along with seasonal and home safety tips and information.
