Child passenger safety week

The Fire Marshal’s Division is reminding the public that this week is Child Passenger Safety Week. Car crashes are reportedly the leading killer of children between the ages 1 to 13. The common cause of this is because children are in the wrong seat or are not properly secured. Due to COVID-19, car seat checks are currently suspended through Odessa Fire Rescue, however, parents can call OFR/FMD for more information regarding best practices for ensuring their child’s safety when traveling.
