Body

 

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation

Proclaim October 6th - October 12, 2019 as Fire Safety and Fire Prevention Week in Paradise Valley

Background

 

SUMMARY STATEMENT:

 

It is estimated that there are 355,400 house fires and 2,560 house-fire-related deaths in the United States each year.  People who have practiced a home fire escape plan are more likely to survive a fire.  Accordingly, the 2019 Fire Prevention Week theme is: “Not every hero wears a cape.  Plan and practice your escape!”

 

At the October 10th meeting, Mayor Bien-Willner will declare October 6th - October 12, 2019 as Fire Safety and Fire Prevention Week in Paradise Valley and encourage all residents to take steps to prevent fires and practice evacuation routes.

 

BUDGETARY IMPACT:
