Verde Valley Fire District was recently awarded a grant in the amount of $9,875.00 from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety to continue their program to provide free car seats to low-income families. Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death amongst children ages 1 – 19. The District’s car seat program provides car seats at no cost to low-income families with insufficient means and provides free car seat check-ups and assistance with installation to anyone. The District has two Certified Car Seat Technicians that are available to help.
