Those seen not wearing their helmets will receive a voucher to pick up a free bicycle helmet while supplies last from Atrium Medical Center. Helmets will be available for pick-up at the hospital between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays by calling 513-974-4713.
“The Middletown Division of Fire sees this as a very important program because we often respond to children who are injured in accidents where they were not wearing helmets, particularly in the summer months. Any way we can help encourage children to wear their helmets, the Middletown Division of Fire paramedics are extremely interested in assuring this occurs,” said Middletown Fire Chief Paul Lolli in a statement.
Bicycle helmets were donated to Warren County Safe Communities for this safety awareness effort.
