Murfreesboro Fire & Rescue Department, in conjunction with Safe Kids, and with the assistance of Murfreesboro Police Department, Rutherford County EMS, and Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office, will host a Child Safety Seat Inspection Station at Rutherford County S.O.R.T. office on Fortress Boulevard on Thursday from 3:00-5:00 pm. The inspection station is the final requirement for a 3-day course to certify nine MFRD personnel, along with personnel from MPD, RCEMS, and RCSO, as Child Safety Seat Technicians. Statistics show that approximately 90 percent of vehicles that come through the inspection stations have car seats that are installed incorrectly.
If you are unable to make it to Wednesday’s Child Safety Seat Inspection Station, there are other opportunities to check your child’s car seat. Contact MFRD’s Administration Office at 893-1422 Monday-Friday 8:00 am-4:30 pm for more information.
