than $1,000,000,000 a year in health care costs;

seen their fire safety education budgets cut dramatically and,
in many cases, eliminated;
(4) there is a need to expand the availability of State and

materials to help State agencies and local fire departments in
carrying out effective public education;

deaths per capita than the United States spend an average of 4-
10 percent of their budgets on fire prevention, versus less
than 3 percent for United States departments; and
