The SHS Section has launched a program to try to reach as many firefighters as possible with simple survival messages through the distribution of 2010 pocket planners. This low-cost program will generate funds to allow the SHS Section to continue to address firefighter safety and health issues.
For only $1.50 each, you can order these pocket planners for your members to tell them that their lives and families mean so much to you that you want to ensure that Everyone Goes Home. You will also help us reach more firefighters than ever with these survival messages. For orders over 50, you can personalize the cover with your department’s name and information.
Download the form and submit your order in time for the holidays! |
