Ever Willing, Ever Ready
Child Safety Seat Installation
The Peotone Fire Protection District currently has one certified child safety seat technician.
Illinois law requires that all children under the age of 8 be properly restrained in an appropriate child safety seat. All children need to be restrained correctly whenever they ride in a motor vehicle-every trip, every time.
Individual car seat checks are conducted free of charge at Peotone Fire Protection District Station by appointment only. For help installing your child's safety seat, please call to make an appointment at 708-258-6884.

SAFE HAVEN
A new law went into effect in August, 2001 that creates safe havens for parents of newborns who are considering the abandonment of their infants. The parent can bring the baby to one of several safe haven providers including fire stations when staff is present.
“Safe Haven provider” means any of the following:
A firefighter who is on duty.
An emergency medical technician who is on duty.
A staff member at a health care institution that is classified as a hospital of an outpatient treatment center. For more information click on the picture above.
