The inspections are free and no prior sign up is needed. A 2025 inspection event list is included on this page. The inspections will take place at the Jackson Central Fire Station, 518 N. Jackson St. Families are welcome to visit the fire station for the checks between 1-3 p.m. When visiting the Jackson Central Fire Station, pull into the south driveway of the fire station off of N.
