Mayor's Proclamation
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
October 7 —13, 2018
WHEREAS, Monroe County, Florida is committed to ensuring the safety and security of
all those living in and visiting Monroe County; and
WHEREAS, fire is a serious public safety concern both locally and nationally, and
homes are the locations where people are at greatest risk from fire; and
WHEREAS, according to the latest National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
statistics, home fires killed 2,735 people in the United States in 2016, and fire departments in the
United States responded to 352,000 home fires; and
WHEREAS, the majority of U.S. fire deaths (4 out of 5) occur at home each year; and
WHEREAS, Monroe County's residents should identify places in their homes and
property where fires can start and eliminate those hazards; and
WHEREAS, Monroe County's Fire Chief and firefighters are dedicated to reducing the
occurrence of home fires and home fire injuries through prevention and protection education;
and
WHEREAS, the 2018 Fire Prevention Week theme, "Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware —
fire can happen anywhereTM" effectively serves to remind us that we need to take personal steps
to increase our safety from fire.
NOW THEREFORE, I, David Rice, Mayor of Monroe County, Florida do hereby
proclaim October 7 -13, 2018, as Fire Prevention Week throughout this County, and I urge all the
people of Monroe County to be aware of their surroundings, look for available ways out in the
event of a fire or other emergency, respond when the smoke alaim sounds by exiting the building
immediately, and to support the many public safety activities and efforts of the County's fire and
emergency services during Fire Prevention Week 2018.
Witness my hand and seal of Monroe County, Florida this 19 day of September 2018.
David Rice, Mayor
