OCTOBER 7, 1994
Committee on Post Office and Civil Service discharged; considered and passed
JOINT RESOLUTION
Designating October 29, 1994, as ‘‘National Firefighters
Day’’.
Whereas there are over 2,000,000 firefighters in the United
States;
Whereas firefighters respond to more than 2,300,000 fires
and 8,700,000 emergencies other than fires each year;
•HJ 411 CPH
Whereas fires annually cause nearly 6,000 deaths and
$10,000,000,000 in property damages;
Whereas firefighters have given their lives and risked injury
to preserve the lives and protect the property of others;
Whereas the contributions and sacrifices of valiant fire-
fighters often go unreported and are inadequately recog-
nized by the public; and
Whereas the work of firefighters deserves the attention and
gratitude of all individuals in the United States: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That October 29, 1994, is designated as ‘‘National Fire-
fighters Day’’, and the President of the United States is
authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling
upon the people of the United States to observe the day
with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
