Here’s a little something to get you in the holiday spirit: a video of Decatur kids singing “Jingle Bells” during their visit to the Decatur Police this week.

The children and their parents carol and deliver treats to the police department and fire stations every December to thank police officers and firefighters for their service to Decatur. Kavarna provided hot chocolate to the carolers and Atlantic Limo donated a bus to transport them around town. Mom Kristin Ebersold said, “We’re so lucky to have such competent & welcoming fire and police departments and generous local business owners.”

Is Your Child Car Seat Installed Safely?

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on January 21, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

According to the website www.seatcheck.org, 7 out of 10 children in child safety seats are not properly buckled in. Luckily, the City of Decatur Fire Department has trained technicians who are available to perform safety checks on your child car seat and booster seats. Stop by Fire Station #1 or #2 between the hours of 1 PM and 6 PM daily for a free safety check. You may want to give them a call to make sure they are not out on a call. The numbers are 404-373-5092 for Station #1 and 404-378-7611 for Station #2.

In addition, the Fire Department will be holding three Car Seat Events during the upcoming year: Saturday, March 27th at the Callaway Parking lot, Saturday, May 22 at the Callaway Parking lot and Saturday October 8th at McKoy Park. Watch this blog or check the upcoming editions of the Decatur FOCUS for  more details.
