North Collier Fire Rescue District is leading the way in Florida by introducing plant-fiber helmets for children to enhance connections with kids and educate them about fire safety.
The district noted that plastic helmets are rarely recycled and often end up in landfills for years. They expressed gratitude to the Bonita Shores community for the opportunity to unveil these helmets at a recent event.
They also thanked Better Choice Costumes, whose founder spent 30 years as a firefighter, for leading this initiative and finding a way for the fire service to join the effort to reduce plastic waste.
