Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
abbotsford
south-
thank
you,
mr
speaker.
This
week
is
fire
prevention
week.
It's
an
annual
opportunity
to
educate
british
columbians
about
the
simple
but
important
things
that
we
can
all
do
to
keep
ourselves.
Our
loved
ones
and
our
communities
safe
from
fire
in
the
case
of
a
fire
seconds,
can
mean
the
difference
between
life
and
death.
So
taking
measures
to
avoid
preventable
fires
can
and
will
save
lives.
A
I
am
a
proud
father
of
a
firefighter,
but
I
have
lost
count
of
how
many
times
he's
had
to
respond
to
a
blaze
that
could
have
been
easily
prevented.
Had
precautions
been
taken
ahead
of
time,
fire
safety
education
helps,
keep
our
firefighters
safe
by
reducing
the
number
of
calls
and
situations
where
they
have
to
put
their
lives
on
the
line,
to
help
prevent
and
protect,
help
protect
people
and
property
throughout
british
columbia.
A
After
a
long
summer,
which
saw
horrific,
wildfires
and
the
entire
town
of
litton
destroyed,
it's
never
been
more
important
to
take
time
to
teach
fire
prevention
and
safety.
Mr
speaker,
this
year's
fire
prevention
week
theme
is
learn
the
sounds
of
fire
safety.
It
helps
bring
awareness
to
the
different
sounds
that
smoke
and
carbon
monoxide
alarms
make,
because
knowing
what
to
do
when
an
alarm
sounds,
will
keep
you
and
your
family
safe
to
learn
more
to
help
spread
awareness.
I
encourage
everyone
