Environmental Committee: Halloween Tradition at Fire Station

10/31/2021

Note: A copy of the Oct. 2021 email sent to the Harrisburg NAACP Environmental Committee follows. Edited for spelling, clarity, and a blog format.

Happy Halloween!
 
My mother began two family traditions [for] Halloween: chili for dinner and a stop at the fire station for trick-or-treating.
 
Speaking of the firehouse, Chief Enterline of the fire department would like to meet with the Committee for a brainstorming session. It was a response to the September email I sent that in part asks:
 
Is it feasible for the Bureau to pilot a program for kids and kids-at-heart to pop... firecrackers on [predetermined] days in designated locations during warm-weather months? 

See Environmental Committee: Harrisburg Fire Department below.
 
Let me know if you will/won't attend before he and I set up a time and date.
 
On behalf of the Committee, my final-of-three attempts to partner with the Greater Harrisburg United Tenants Associated has expired.

See "NAACP: Environmental Committee (July 2021)" below.

I sent the following email to the Association on Sept. 21:
 
GHTU,
 
I'd like to volunteer for the helpline one or two days each month. I also left a voicemail at 717-461-2096 this afternoon. Please indicate your interest (or not) within two weeks (Oct. 5) so I can accommodate my schedule.
 
In the recent general and executive meetings, I responded to the president's request on how tenants can file legitimate complaints against their landlords.

For context, refer back to Environmental Committee: Harrisburg Fire Department below.

Of emphasis to the Environmental Committee, I noted the complaint form below for occupied properties that violate city code.

​I also gave a resource by which residents can file complaints of illegal fireworks. By illegal, I specified those fireworks popped within a certain footage of an occupied structure (150 feet). I've linked the complaint forms for tenants and fireworks below. (Callers can request the forms at 717-255-3040 or 3-1-1 {local}).

P.S. Let me know whether or not you'll make the meeting with the fire chief.

The founding Environmental Committee of the Harrisburg NAACP popularizes awareness for fire safety & prevention in the City of Harrisburg. Upon its formal conception in March 2021, the Committee has been developing a free educational product for young learners about non-arson house fires.
