A Proclamation
As a mark of respect for the memory of Michael J. Mansfield, retired

facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels
and stations.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of

Proclamation 7480--Fire Prevention Week, 2001
October 5, 2001
By the President of the United States
of America
A Proclamation
The well-being of our Nation's citizens requires that families,
communities, emergency workers, and health professionals work together
to ensure the highest levels of public safety. This goal is particularly
important with respect to fire prevention. The 2000 National Fire
Experience Survey, conducted by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), reveals that fire claimed more than 4,000 American lives last
year. In 2000, fire killed someone every 130 minutes and injured someone
every 24 minutes. Fire also takes a significant economic toll on
America, accounting for more than $11 billion in property loss last
year.
In the United States, fires caused by cooking, heating, or
electricity amount to almost half of all home fires. These accidental
fires, though common, are also among the most preventable. Their high
rates of occurrence point to the vital importance of safety and
knowledge in helping to prevent these types of fires and thereby avoid
the tragic deaths and serious injuries that they can cause.
This year marks the annual observance of Fire Prevention Week,
sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association. The event's
theme, ``Cover the Bases and Strike Out Fire,'' encourages children and
families to take an active role in preventing home fires and the
injuries and deaths they cause, by conducting home fire safety
inspections and preparing and practicing home fire drills. The NFPA is
joining forces with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, through the
United States Fire Administration, and with fire departments throughout
the country to raise awareness of the leading causes
[[Page 1428]]
of home fires and encourage the actions that may be taken to prevent
them. I urge all Americans to learn more about fire prevention and to
take steps to better ensure the safety of our homes, places of work, and
other public structures.
During this year's observance, I also call on Americans to join me
in expressing appreciation for the devotion and dedication of our
Nation's firefighters and other emergency response personnel. These
brave men and women provide the first line of emergency response to a
multitude of disasters and risk their own security and well-being to
save the lives of others. As recent events in our Nation have
demonstrated, these fine Americans truly exemplify selfless service and
heroism. They serve to make our towns, cities, and communities safer
places for all.
Now, Therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 7 through October
13, 2001, as Fire Prevention Week. I call upon the people of the United
States to observe this day with appropriate programs and activities and
to renew efforts to prevent fires and their tragic consequences for
human health and safety.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of
October, in the year of our Lord two thousand one, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-
sixth.
