One Way to Improve Care if You Have to Call 911
If you call 911 for a medical emergency, one of the requirements of responding EMTs
is to gather information that is pertinent to your care and sending it with you as
part of their report to the “next level of care – could be the emergency room".
Please print and fill out the Emergency Medical Information form below.
Feel free to come by the main station during normal business hours and we’ll make
a few copies for you once you have completed the form.
KEY PROVISIONS of Washington's Child Restraint law:
Children under 13 years old be transported in the back seat where it is practical to do so.
Children up to their 8th birthday, unless they are 4'9" tall (which ever comes first), must ride
in a child restraint. (For example a child car seat, booster seat, vest, or other restraint that
is federally approved for use in the car.)
The restraint system must be used correctly according to the car seat AND vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.
Vehicles equipped with lap-only seat belts are exempt from the requirement to use a booster seat.
Children 8-years of age or at least 4'9" who wear a seat belt MUST use it correctly
(never under the arm or behind the back) or continue to use a booster.
Shoulder belts must be used with booster seats at all times! A child is exempt from the booster seat
law requirement, only when a child weighs 40 pounds or more and is in a vehicle with lap-only belts.
NOTE: Doctors and safety experts recommend that children ride
in booster seats until the lap and shoulder belt fit right, usually
when they are at least 4'9" tall, or around 8 years old.
