| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Fire Prevention Month |
| I will be introducing a resolution designating October 2020 as "Fire Prevention Month" and observing the week of October 4 through 10, 2020, as "National Fire Prevention Week" in Pennsylvania. The National Fire Protection Association has chosen as its theme for National Fire Prevention Week 2020, “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen.” The purpose of this year’s theme is to educate the community on cooking hazards, the dangers of unattended cooking, and precautions that can be taken to prevent cooking-related fires, because cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the U.S. Not only does Fire Prevention Week provide the opportunity to raise awareness and educate people about fire safety and prevention in their homes and communities, it also recognizes the unrelenting efforts of all first responders, firefighters, and fire service agencies as they perform their duties for the common good. I would appreciate your co-sponsorship of this legislation. |
