Woodinville Fire Participates in International Seatbelt Pledge
Board Chair Randy Ransom signs the Firefighter Seatbelt Pledge as the Board of Fire Commissioners and Chief David Daniels look on.
Members of the Woodinville Fire District have signed the International Fire Service Seatbelt Pledge. The final signatures came at the Board of Fire Commissioners meeting on March 1, 2010. The seat belt pledge came about when Amarillo, Texas firefighter Christopher Hunton fell from a fire truck while responding to an emergency. Hunton was not wearing his seat belt. A simple pledge was created and began to distribute across the country.
The pledge states, "I pledge to wear my seat belt whenever I am riding in a Fire Department vehicle. I further pledge to insure that all my brother and sister firefighters riding with me wear their seat belts. I am making this pledge willingly; to honor Brian Hunton my brother firefighter because wearing seat belts is the right thing to do."
In addition to firefighters wearing seat belts at all times while in fire district vehicles, the goal extends to see all drivers in the community wear seat belts while in a motor vehicle. The use of seatbelts significantly reduces the chance of suffering a fatal car accident.
