AGENDA TITLE: Resolution of Appreciation to Debi Baker and Allstate Insurance for
supporting Public Fire Education
MEETING DATE: March 19, 1997
PREPARED BY: Scott Kenley, Fire Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION: PRESENTATION
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Approximately two weeks before fire prevention week,
Debi Baker, of Allstate Insurance called our office and
inquired if we needed any fire prevention literature. Ms
Baker had been working with Woodbridge Fire, and
decided on her own, that the Lodi Fire Department might
like some of the handouts provided to Woodbridge Fire
Department
Within 10 days, Ms. Baker provided over 3,000 coloring books and activities folders, specifically designed for fire
prevention. With some additional literature from the First Alert Company, and some funds from the Lodi Nut
Company, we were able to present the estimated 3,200 students of Lodi a comprehensive fire prevention package.
Since last September, Ms. Baker has continued to supply our department with an additional 3,000 coloring books and
2,000 activity folders. In addition, she has given the fire department fingerprint kits and videos in which to expand
our fire prevention efforts.
In order to publicly thank Ms. Baker, I would like to propose we honor her with a proclamation outlining her
generosity and continued support of fire prevention in Lodi.
