Carmel firefighters handing out free masks at Market District, Target

The Carmel Fire Department has scheduled two more COVID-19 information booths to hand out information on vaccination, virus prevention and safety, and answer questions from the public. Firefighters will offer free bottles of hand sanitizer and disposable face masks while supplies last. The type of masks being distributed are similar to what you would find in a doctor’s office waiting room.

CFD will be at Market District, 11505 N. Illinois St., Carmel, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, March 10. The booth will be set up inside the foyer of the east entrance.

CFD will be at Target, 10401 N. Michigan Road, Carmel, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, March 11. The booth will be set up inside the foyer of the north entrance.

During the event, representatives from CFD will wear masks and keep to physical distancing guidelines to avoid possible spread of the virus. The event is open to the public and visitors should also wear masks and maintain proper distance from others as they approach the booth.

The goal of this booth is to provide the community with COVID-19 information, including handouts showing the City of Carmel and Carmel Fire Department “Best Practices” for dealing with the virus.
