                              Richard S. Gordon, Chair
                  ACR 102 (Fox) - As Introduced:  February 20, 2014
           
          SUBJECT  :   California Firefighters Memorial Day.

           SUMMARY  :   Proclaims October 11, 2014, as California  
          Firefighters Memorial Day.  Specifically,  this resolution  makes  
          the following legislative findings:

          1)The California Firefighters Memorial, located on the grounds  
            of the State Capitol, serves to honor and commemorate  
            California firefighters who unwaveringly serve our great state  
            with pride, courage, and honor.

          2)The California Firefighters Memorial is also a symbol of  
            gratitude and appreciation to the men and women of the fire  
            service who put their lives on the line each day to protect  
            the people, property, and beauty of California.

          3)Many of the 1,200 fallen firefighters whose names adorn the  
            California Firefighters Memorial suffered and ultimately  
            succumbed to diseases, such as cancer, as a result of the  
            hazardous nature of their work, including routine exposure to  
            toxic chemicals.

          4)On October 11, 2014, firefighters and their families from  
            throughout the state will gather in Sacramento with their  
            fellow Californians for the California Firefighters Memorial  
            Ceremony 2014 to honor the men and women of the fire service  
            who have given their lives to protect California.
