RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Awarding a Fire Truck Ride to School for Summer Reading 2017 Winners - Todd Humble, Library Services Department Director

That the Board authorize Escambia County Fire Rescue to provide six area youths, between the ages of 6 and 11, a fire truck ride to school if they have completed 50 hours or more of reading during Escambia County’s West Florida Public Libraries 2017 Summer Reading Campaign.

Authorize Escambia County Fire Rescue to provide Fire Safety Training to six Escambia County Elementary Schools after the winning youth has arrived at his/her school.

BACKGROUND:

The West Florida Public Libraries expect our Summer Reading participation to grow dramatically this summer as a result of thousands of youth seeing their classmate arrive at the school on the fire truck. The fire safety training after the high tower ladder demonstration made hundreds of students more aware of the need for smoke detectors and how to properly react in a house fire.
