In preparation for the first day of school next week, the Cape Coral Fire Department is giving out reflective backpack flashers.

“Many students walk or wait for the bus in the mornings when it is still dark out,” says Acting Fire Chief Mike Russell, “To help them be more visible as they make their way to school, we encourage parents to pick up a free backpack flasher from any of our Cape Coral fire stations.”

Reflective backpack flashers are available at all 13 Cape Coral fire stations and Fire Headquarters through Aug. 19, or while supplies last.
