Fire safety education for all ages
Car seats
Car seats are complicated – we can help! Car crashes are a leading cause of death of children under 14 years old. Choosing, installing, and using a car seat or booster seat properly is the best thing you can do to protect your child in the car.
Appointments can be made for residents of Esquimalt to have a car seat installed by a Child Passender Safety Technician certified firefighter at the Esquimalt Fire Department. For more information please contact 250-414-7126, or fire@esquimalt.ca.
