I will soon be introducing a resolution to recognize October 5th -11th, 2025, as "Fire Prevention Week" in Pennsylvania. The theme for this year's Fire Prevention Week, as chosen by the National Fire Protection Association, is “Charge into Fire Safety”. This theme serves as a reminder of the safe-use of battery-powered devices such as smartphones, laptops, scooters, and e-bikes among others by emphasizing the risks of improper battery use as well as the best practices to prevent potential fire hazards from their use.
 
Fire Prevention Week is an opportunity to raise awareness and educate people about fire safety and prevention in their homes and communities. It also acknowledges the commendable service of all first responders, firefighters, and fire service agencies in Pennsylvania.
 
Please join me in sponsoring this resolution so we can continue supporting awareness of fire safety across Pennsylvania.
