Dear Supporter,
We have reached a critical point in fire safety. The fire protection industry recently announced it would phase-out a widely used fire retardant, and would soon be introducing a new generation of fire safety products. This groundbreaking move is one of many in the industry’s unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and fire safety.
Phase out Agreement Wins Praise
This commitment has been hailed by the US Environmental Protection Agency, leading environmental groups, and the International Association of Fire Fighters, and will undoubtedly prove to be a model for sustainable fire safety programs in the future.
The EPA agreement sets forth a rational, effective transition to newer alternatives, while allowing critical services such as police, fire and airlines to continue to use existing fire safety products that are critically important to saving lives. This progressive thinking is largely a result of the efforts of advocates like your group, and others such as Safephaseout.org.
Agreement Protects Lives, Is The Right Approach
As we make this transition, we must remain watchful of legislation that would preemptively ban existing products, leaving communities without adequate fire safety protection. We believe that the timeline that has been worked out with the EPA is the most appropriate. Let’s trust the scientists of the federal environmental agencies and not act precipitously to put our families and children at risk of serious injury or death. An effective national solution to this critical issue is the only solution that is truly safe.
