The Myrtle Beach Fire Department is hosting a car seat safety event on Saturday, September 26, offering the community an opportunity to learn essential tips for keeping children secure in vehicles. This initiative underscores the department’s commitment to public safety, particularly for the many families residing in and visiting the Grand Strand area.
The event will take place at Fire Station 6, located at 1140 Farrow Parkway, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This specific station is strategically positioned to serve residents in growing areas like Withers Preserve and The Market Common, making it accessible for many Myrtle Beach families. Certified car seat technicians will be on hand to provide guidance and ensure proper installation of child safety seats. This hands-on approach allows parents and caregivers to receive personalized instruction, addressing common errors in car seat usage.
Ensuring children are properly secured in car seats is a critical aspect of road safety, especially in a region like Horry County, which experiences significant traffic from both its rapidly growing year-round population and the influx of 20 million annual tourists. The Myrtle Beach Fire Department regularly emphasizes preventative measures to protect the community, and this event is a direct extension of those efforts. The department encourages all parents and caregivers to attend, regardless of whether they are first-time car seat users or simply seeking a professional check-up.
