NEW FIRE SAFETY CAMPAIGN FOR PEOPLE AGES 50 AND OLDER

WICOMICO COUNTY FIRE MARSHAL PARTNERS WITH USFA TO KICK OFF NEW
FIRE SAFETY CAMPAIGN FOR PEOPLE AGES 50 AND OLDER
Community wide Effort to Lower Escalating Fire Death Rates Among Older Population from Careless Smoking, Cooking and Heating

Salisbury, MD, April 18, 2013 – The Wicomico County Fire Marshal today launched A Fire Safety Campaign for People 50-Plus to prevent the community’s older citizens from joining fire death statistics that escalate dramatically beginning at age 65. Fire Marshal Kevin Wright, is conducting the campaign in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Management Agency (FEMA). This morning’s presentation was made to the residents of Pine Bluff Apartments.

Each year, approximately 1,100 Americans ages 65 and older die in home fires and another 3,000 are injured. People ages 65 and older are three times as likely to die in a residential fire as the rest of the population. Careless smoking, cooking and heating practices are the top three causes of fire deaths among people age 65 and older.

“We will teach people simple steps for safe smoking, cooking and heating their homes – steps that will help them avoid unspeakable tragedy,” said Kevin Wright, Wicomico County Fire Marshal. “We will also encourage our older citizens to maintain their smoke alarms, develop and practice a fire escape plan, and if at all possible, install home fire sprinklers.” Wright also noted that the campaign reaches out to the 65-plus population and to people ages 50 and older who often care for and will soon enter this high risk group.

In Maryland, people ages 65 and older made up 28 percent of residential fire deaths from 1989 to 1998 according to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA).

“We welcome invitations from community and faith-based organizations to present fire safety programs for people ages 50 and older, their families and caregivers,” said Wright. “We will also make home visits to point out fire hazards, help plan escape routes and provide fire safety materials.”

Contact Kevin Wright at 410-548-4994 to schedule a fire safety presentation or request a home visit. A Fire Safety Campaign for People 50-Plus campaign materials are available through the Fire Marshals’ office or via the web at www.usfa.fema.gov/50Plus.

The O'Malley rain tax

Only in the Great State of Maryland can the citizens be taxed on an Act of God, or depending on you beliefs, an Act of Nature.  

Rain Tax?!!!  Seriously/!!!  YEP!  It's happening here in the State of MD and I don't give a snap how you sugarcoat it, it's a tax plain and simple. 


Here are just 4 of the many articles on the subject.  All these sources can't be hoaxes.  To find more like these just Google "MD rain tax" and see what you find.

Fruitland Little League Field off Brown Street in Fruitland. Line up

participate, and all donations are used for our scholarship fund. This
parade started 10 years ago as a joint venture with Girl Scout Troop

the Chamber about doing a parade for Fruitland, known as "Hop Into
Spring". So, we have come from 25 entries originally to almost 100.

This year's Master of Ceremonies will be Mr. Randy Lee Ashcraft, local
country musician. We will have over 90 participants in our parade,
which includes city and county council members, Wicomico County Sheriff,
Wicomico County State's Attorney, local churches, non-profit
organizations, dog clubs, girl scouts, boy scouts, PRMC Mobile Unit,
Library Book Mobile, UMES Band and their cheerleaders, mascots,
volunteer fire departments, local banks, youth pageant winners(Miss
Crustation/Little Mr. & Miss Skip Jack/Mr. Skip Jack), antique cars, hot
rods, horse and carriage, etc. We will also be offering "pictures with
the Easter Bunny" immediately after the parade for a $2.00 fee. All
proceeds from our event will go to the Fruitland Chamber's Scholarship
Fund helping a local student right here in Fruitland area.

Immediately following the parade, Fruitland City Hall and Fruitland
Recreation Commission will be sponsoring an Easter Egg Hunt with prizes
awarded and candy. Fruitland Little League Concession stand
will be open from 10am to noon and other vendors will be set up at the
Little League fields parking lot as well for a fun filled morning for all.
