Villa Park Fire Station 81, located at 1440 S. Ardmore Ave., hosted a “Seat Check Saturday” on Sept. 7. Parents and grandparents visited the station to have certified child passenger safety seat technicians make sure vehicle safety seats were installed properly. The photos show three young Villa Park residents—Levi Smith (upper left), Aubree Malok (upper right) and Hannah Grollo (lower left) in their secured seats. The lower right photo shows the safety seat technicians who participated in the event. Pictured left to right are Mary Hornback of the Villa Park Fire Department, Aaron Calhoun of the Aurora Fire Department, Villa Park Community Service Officer Brittany Hall, Oakbrook Terrace Community Service Officer Jacky Caruso, Clare Pfotenhauer of Rush Copley Medical Center and Wood Dale Community Service Officer Jeniffer Knight. A certified technician is available to check seats by appointment. Call Hornback at 630-592-6099 for more information. The week of Sept. 15-21 is Child Passenger Safety Week.
