Free Life Jackets Can Be Borrowed At Sacramento Area Fire Stations
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — If you're planning on hitting the water as temperatures start to soar, it's a good idea to bring along a life jacket.
Rivers in the region will be running high, fast and cold as a record snowpack continues to melt in the Sierra.
But what if you don't own a life jacket? You're in luck, thanks to local fire stations.
The Life Jacket Loan Program allows adults 18 years and older in the Greater Sacramento area to borrow life jackets from fire stations. Each station also has life jackets available for children.
The cost is free and only requires filling out a form that includes your name, address, phone number and driver's license number. Jackets can be borrowed for a day or the weekend.
Here's where you can find life jackets.
