JOINT RESOLUTION
To designate October 8, 1992, as `National Firefighters Day'.
Whereas there are over 2,000,000 professional firefighters in the United
States;
Whereas firefighters respond to more than 2,300,000 fires and 8,700,000
emergencies other than fires each year;
Whereas fires annually cause nearly 6,000 deaths and $10,000,000,000 in
property damage;
Whereas firefighters have given their lives and risked injury to preserve
the lives and protect the property of others;
Whereas the contributions and sacrifices of valiant firefighters often go
unreported and are inadequately recognized by the public; and
Whereas the work of firefighters deserves the attention and gratitude of
all individuals in the United States: Now, therefore, be it
  Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States
  of America in Congress assembled, That--
  (1) October 8, 1992, is designated as `National Firefighters Day'; and
  (2) the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation
  calling upon the people of the United States to observe the day with
  appropriate ceremonies and activities.
