What is “S.A.F.E.” Training? S.A.F.E stands for Self defense, Awareness, Familiarization and Exchange. The program is taught by police officers and is designed to educate women on how to protect themselves from crime by introducing them to physical training methods.

Child Safety Seat Inspection

Child Safety Seat Inspection Event Planned for June 12
The Janesville Fire Department will hold the first car seat inspection event for 2008 on June 12. This program will take place at Fire Station #5 (1414 Newport Avenue) from 8AM-Noon.

The purpose of this program is to assist parents in protecting the lives of Janesville’s youngest residents by providing certified child safety seat technicians who will inspect, instruct and correct improperly installed child safety seats. During the event, several technicians from the Janesville Fire and Police Departments will be available to inspect child safety seats. Each inspection takes approximately 30 minutes and is free of charge; however, donations are accepted. The donations will be used to fund the operating costs of the inspection program. The Fire Department also has safety seats available. If a safety seat is found to be unsafe during an inspection, parents may choose to conveniently obtain a new safety seat from the Fire Department. Please contact Firefighter/Paramedic Jamie Kessenich at Fire Station #5 at 752-5815 if you have questions or to schedule an appointment.
