]]> The Cape Coral Fire Department wants to make sure kids stay safe on their way to school or the bus stop, especially in the early morning when it’s still dark. They’re handing out free red LED backpack flashers at every one of their 13 stations and at Fire Headquarters. Clip the flasher onto your child’s backpack and drivers will spot them more easily, even if they’re wearing dark clothes or carrying a black bag.

Andrea Schuch, the department’s Public Information Specialist, put it simply: “We want those kids who are traversing the roadways to be seen by the drivers. These backpack flashers make them more visible, especially if the kids are wearing a dark bag or clothes.”

If you want one, just stop by any Cape Coral fire station or Fire Headquarters:

Station 1—4610 Coronado Pkwy.
Station 2—521 Nicholas Pkwy.
Station 3—1627 Everest Pkwy.
Station 4—2007 Santa Barbara Boulevard
Station 5—1029 Diplomat Pkwy.
Station 6—4540 Chiquita Blvd.
Station 7—3942 Burnt Store Rd.
Station 8—707 SW 1st St.
Station 9—4107 Pelican Blvd.
Station 10—3623 Gator Circle
Station 11—1038 Burnt Store Rd.
Station 12—2129 Chiquita Blvd.
Station 13—2025 SE 6th St.
Fire Headquarters/EOC—1115 SE 9th Ave.

It’s a simple step that can make the morning a lot safer for your kids.
