Recently members of your Gallup Fire Department distributed another child safety seat as part of our distribution program.
We are the first fire department in the state to be a Child Safety Seat Distribution Site.
The New Mexico Child Safety Seat Distribution Program (NMCSSDP) is funded by the New Mexico Department of Transportation Traffic Safety Division. This program helps provide car seats and education on how to properly use them to low-income New Mexico families at a low cost.
If you qualify for the program, a trained NMCSSDP staff member will provide the appropriate seat for your child. Parents and caregivers must be educated on the proper use of the seat, are provided educational resources, and are required to watch an educational video before being issued a seat. Families can receive 1 seat per child.
If you are interested in this program please call your Gallup Fire Department at 505-722-4195 for more information or to schedule an appointment to receive training and a car seat.
