Free Grandparent Safety Class

SCFD will host a free Grandparent Safety Class on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Seminole County Public Safety Building, located at 150 Eslinger Way in Sanford.

Community Outreach personnel and Firefighter/Paramedics will provide grandparents with hands-on, practical skills to help keep their grandchildren safe, including:

• Child and infant CPR
• Choking emergencies
• Safe sleep practices
• Injury prevention
• Basic first aid

“At the Seminole County Fire Department, we are committed to helping our residents feel prepared when an emergency happens,” said Fire Chief Matt Kinley. “We offer hands-only CPR through Save a Life Seminole and Seminole Safe Sitter classes, and we have received numerous requests from grandparents for a class specific to their needs. We are proud to offer this class and give grandparents the skills and confidence to keep their grandchildren safe.”

Those interested in attending the class must register by September 10. Class space is limited. To register or for questions, contact Public Safety Specialist Sharon Gregory at [email protected] or 407-665-5128.
