Stolen Infant Car Seat Replaced

One day a woman walked into Station 18, 'C' shift, to report that her car had been stolen with an infant car seat inside. She told the Firefighters that she did not have the money to replace the car seat although relatives were kind enough to loan her the use of their cars to drive. She asked the Firefighters if they could help her get another car seat. Lt. Carlos Harvey determined that this was a legitimate need and request, so he contacted Random Acts. Together we went shopping with him to purchase a new one. Carlos delivered the infant car seat to the woman's house and he said that she was very thankful to the Firefighters for their help. The car and the infant car seat were never recovered.
