Williamson County Emergency Medical Services in conjunction with Austin/Travis County EMS will be conducting a car safety seat event for area residents on Saturday, April 15, from 2 to 5 p.m. The safety seat check, hosted by the Hutto Fire Department, will take place at the Hutto Fire Station at 501 Hutto Exchange, Hutto, TX 78634. Please call 512-943-1264 to schedule an appointment. The last appointment begins at 4:30 p.m.
Children will need to be with a parent or other adult caregiver during the inspection. Items should be cleared from the vehicle in order to allow technicians access to the child safety seats. If a car seat is found to be outdated or not meeting child safety seat standards, it may need to be replaced. Funding for the April 15 Save a Life™ event is provided in part by the Texas Department of Transportation.
Safety seat checks are planned on a regular basis throughout Williamson County. To learn about future events, visit our website at www.wilco.org/ems or contact Kaaren Thoene at 512-943-1264 or via email kthoene@wilco.org.
