Proclamation #2022-023PPROCIAMAVON
Whereas, the City of Clermont is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all
those living in and visiting our city; and
Whereas, fire is a serious public safety concern both locally and nationally, and homes
are the locations where people are at greatest risk from fire; and
Whereas, smoke alarms sense smoke well before you can, alerting you to danger in the
event of fire in which you may have as little as 2 minutes to escape safely; and
Whereas, Clermont residents should be sure everyone in the home understands the
sounds of the alarms and knows how to respond; and
Whereas, Clermont residents who have planned and practiced a home fire escape plan
are more prepared and will therefore be more likely to survive a fire; and
Whereas, Clermont residents are responsive to public education measures and are
better able to take personal steps to increase their safety from fire, especially in their homes;
and
Whereas, the 2022 Fire Prevention Week TM theme, "Fire won't wait. Plan your
escape." effectively serves to remind us it is important to have a home fire escape plan.
Now, '21herefore, I, Tim Murry, Mayor of the City of Clermont in the State of Florida,
