Subject:	Resolution Designating the Week of May 8 through May 14, 2017, as “Fallen Firefighters Survivors’ Week” in Pennsylvania and Designating May 12, 2017, as “Fallen Firefighters Survivors’ Day” in Pennsylvania

In the near future, I plan to introduce a resolution designating the week of May 8 through May 14, 2017, as “Fallen Firefighters Survivors’ Week” and designating May 12, 2017, as “Fallen Firefighters Survivors’ Day” in Pennsylvania. Throughout the Commonwealth, thousands of firefighters put their lives at risk with each emergency response they make to duty. Tragically, not all who respond to such calls make it back to the station alive. Each fallen firefighter leaves behind family and other loved ones in addition to fellow firefighters. The firefighting community, whether volunteer or career, is always present to serve the people of the Commonwealth. Therefore, it is fitting that we honor them whenever possible and recognize their survivors. Please join me in recognizing “Fallen Firefighters Survivors’ Week” and “Fallen Firefighters Survivors’ Day” in Pennsylvania.
