Car Seat Events
Need help installing your child's car seat? The Thornton Fire Department is currently offering virtual appointments. Virtual appointments are conducted via Zoom or FaceTime and will utilize installation videos, checks for- recalls, proper strap/harness placement and tightness, and discuss overall safety.
We do not encourage you to stop by a fire station, why?? Not all firefighters are Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician's. They may also get called out to an emergency and leave you with an uninstalled car seat. It is best to schedule a virtual appointment or call for assistance.
- Virtual Car Seat Installation Appointments are scheduled Monday-Thursday during normal business hours
