Campus Firewatch will once again be doing its succesfull Campus Fire Safety Tip-a-Day Campaign. Go to www.CampusFirewatch.com/tipaday for more information on how you can take part!
Campus fire safety has become an important issue across the nation. Now in its seventh year, governors across the nation are signing proclamations designating September as Campus Fire Safety Month in their states and resolutions have been introduced in both the U.S. Senate U.S. House of Representatives. Schools across the country will be holding events to educate and inform students about what they can do to help ensure they are not the victim of a preventable fire.
As a constituent, you can add your voice by contacting your governor's office and asking him or her to sign a proclamation. The 2009-2010 academic year had the lowest number of campus-related fire deaths on record since 2000 and I believe this is because of the increased awareness of fire safety on our nations campuses through programs such as this.
We will have a lot more information in the coming weeks on National Campus Fire Safety Month. If you want to be kept up to date, you can sign up to get information over there to the left of the screen.
