National
Fire Service and EMS Seat Belt Pledge
Firefighter Christopher Brian Hunton,
age 27, was a member of the Amarillo Texas fire department
for one year. On April 23, 2005 he fell out of his fire
truck responding to an alarm he died two days later
from his injuries. Brian was not wearing his seat belt.
The Pledge:
"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."
