The Verde Valley Fire District was recently awarded over $10,000 in grant money from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety to continue their program to provide free car seats to low-income families. Officials say motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death amongst children ages 1-to-19. The District’s car seat program provides car seats at no cost to low-income families with insufficient means and has four Certified Car Seat Technicians to provide free car seat check-ups and assistance with installation to everyone.
