Ponderosa Fire Department Round
Up
July 2008
FREE Smoke Detectors
The Ponderosa Fire Department has partnered
with Wayne Wright Lawyers Charitable Campaign to install free
smoke detectors in your home. A very simple process is to call
us at 281-444-8465 to set up an appointment and our firefighters
will come to your home to install the smoke detector(s).
The spark of the campaign was the tragic
fire’s that took place over the 2006-year and holiday season.
Wayne Wright and his associates decided to make a difference.
“Smoke Alarms in Every Home” was ignited on
December 15, 2006. Wayne Wright states, “ Every person, in
every home, deserves the protection that a smoke alarm provides.
It is unbelievable to think that there are families in our
community living in homes without this simple lifesaving device,
so we have decided to make smoke alarms available free of
charge to families.” He and his lawyers are committed to
donating and educating this need for smoke alarms. Alex Wright
quotes San Antonio Express News “We saw that children
were perishing, and that’s when Wayne decided we’d better do
something for the community.”
Even if you don’t participate in this
program, please take the time to check your smoke detectors on a
regular basis.
The July 4th Holiday brings
fireworks – please be careful and closely supervise your
children. Be aware that some subdivision deed restrictions ban
fireworks and that some areas around us are within Houston’s
Special Purpose Annexation where they can confiscate fireworks
and cite the individual. These areas are generally adjacent to
FM1960.
