Greetings!
I received the brochure for the GAFC Spring Conference and
was pleased to see the theme of “SAFETY – A Family State of Mind”.
Following up on the success of last years conference will be hard but something
we can all make happen. The majority of the topics for the conference deal
directly with driving and apparatus safety. With this in mind I would like to
issue a challenge to every fire department in the state.
To date there are only 25 fire departments of the
approximately 560 who are 100% compliant with the International Seat Belt
pledge. North Carolina is leading the way. Please use the links below to access
the Seat Belt Pledge website and also the pledge form at Everyone Goes Home.
The Spring conference begins April 11th. It would be great to see as
many fire departments as can commit to the pledge and submit their information
before the conference or bring their pledges to the conference. Many talk
about the use of seat belts, lets find out which departments will join the 25
who already have signed the pledge. If your one of the 25 then
please help spread the word and get the number to grow for Georgia!

Simply download the pledge form and have the members of your
department sign it. Then follow the instructions for turning it in and emailing
your information in as well.
Pass this along to everyone in your list and let’s see how
many departments we can get to sign the pledge before the conference! It would
be nice to see the Associations and State Agencies sign up as well. IF
you need further information please visit the web-site or let me know.
