The Hinesville Fire Department, with assistance from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) and the Georgia Traffic Injury Prevention Institute (GTIPI), established a child safety seat permanent fitting station to increase the number of correctly installed child safety seats thereby decreasing the number of child injuries and fatalities occurring in Hinesville and Liberty County.
The objectives are to:
- Help make the public aware of the magnitude of having an incorrectly installed child safety seat;
- Increase the number of properly used child safety seats in Liberty County; and
- Lower the number of child injuries and fatalities
All residents are welcome to stop by either Hinesville Fire Station, Station 1 - 308 S. Commerce Street or Station 2 - 640 Airport Road, for a child safety seat fitting check. To receive a free child safety seat contact the Liberty County Health Department at (912) 876 - 2173.
