A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 3,
2010 THROUGH OCTOBER 9, 2010 AS "FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK" IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made the
following determinations:
1. The annual toll from fires throughout the U.S. causes the death of thousands of
Americans, while many more individuals are burned or disfigured for life, and suffer
enormous losses of property.
2. More deaths caused by fires involve women and children in the home.
3. Statistics indicate that a large percentage of fires in this country are caused merely by
carelessness.
4. The observance of "FIRE PREVENTION WEEK" provides an excellent opportunity
for the St. Lucie County Fire District to bring before the people of St. Lucie County
the need to cooperate in all fire prevention and safety measures, which could help
bring a substantial savings in life and property to our community during the months
ahead.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie
