But the best fire call we make is the
[0:02]
one that we can prevent. And so I'm
[0:05]
really proud of the the men and women
[0:06]
that we that serve for us and what they
[0:10]
do to actually help us do that. And we
[0:12]
do a lot of things from community risk
[0:14]
reduction, fire prevention, code
[0:16]
enforcement. It's one of the biggest
[0:17]
ones we do. But it's it's not just me or
[0:22]
fire chief. It's all of them. And so,
[0:25]
uh, we just want everybody to take time
[0:27]
to do just take a few minutes, go home,
[0:30]
check your smoke alarm,
[0:32]
identify some hazards, you know, just
[0:35]
those little things can save a life. And
[0:37]
it's simple. And so, that's all we're
[0:40]
asking. And so, this year's theme is
[0:43]
charging the fire safety. So, it's kind
[0:46]
of still leaning towards the battery
[0:48]
charging of, you know, some of the
[0:50]
hazards involved in that. And so, that's
[0:52]
what we're going out. These crews have
[0:53]
been busy all week seeing all the kids
[0:56]
and I'm sure they're pretty tired right
[0:58]
now. So, but as we move on, uh, that's
[1:01]
all I got to say today.
[1:04]
>> Everyone come on up. Uh, the our great
[1:06]
fire department and our CFAA, everybody
[1:09]
come on up for the proclamation.
[1:33]
Hi council chamber is muted. Can you
[1:35]
please unmute?
[1:49]
Okay, I think we got everybody out. So, whereas the city of Sugarland
[1:54]
recognizes October 2026 as fire
[1:57]
prevention month, including the national
[2:00]
observance of fire prevention week from
[2:02]
October 4th through 10th to raise
[2:04]
awareness of the importance of fire
[2:07]
safety prevention and preparedness in
[2:10]
protecting lives and property. And
[2:12]
whereas the 2026 theme, charge into fire
[2:16]
safety, safe charging is a superpower,
[2:19]
highlights the importance of safe
[2:22]
everyday charging habits and encourages
[2:24]
residents to understand how the proper
[2:27]
use and care of lithium ion batteries
[2:30]
can help reduce the risk of fires in our
[2:33]
homes and communities. And whereas the
[2:36]
city of Sugarland commends the dedicated
[2:39]
