C.A.R.E. stands for Child Seat Awareness and Restraint Education. This York County program is designed to educate and assist citizens with selecting and installing child restraints in their vehicles.
The York County Department of Fire and Life Safety offers many programs and resources designed to keep our families, homes and communities safer. This page details the children and adult education programs available through our Prevention and Community Safety Division.
The P.A.L.S. with Smoke Alarms Program assists qualifying York County residents with keeping operable alarms, particularly in and near sleeping areas, by providing and installing smoke alarms upon request.
Children and fire are a dangerous combination. While it is normal for children to be naturally curious about fire, starting fires and experimenting with fire is not. Children underestimate how quickly fire can spread and become a potentially deadly situation. Without educational intervention, youth firesetting behavior may continue. We are here to help! Our department offers a Youth Fire Intervention & Educational Program that seeks to help families take a proactive role in keeping their family, home and community safe.
