Yesterday some of our members attended the county wide water shuttle.
Events like these are great for firefighters to keep their current skills sharp while at the same time learning new techniques.

This is a great opportunity to have your booster or car seat checked over and learn about car seat safety

Book a car seat check appointment!
It is child passenger safety week and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to hold a car seat clinic!

Come get your booster or car seat installation checked, learn about proper use, and how to keep your child safe in the vehicle. Appointments are free of charge.

Don't worry about the rain. New Glasgow Fire Department will be letting us use their space to stay warm and dry while we look at your seats!
