This was a tragedy, and it could have been avoided. I offer my deepest condolences and sympathy to the Firefighter Giles’ family and to the Fuller Hose Co.

If #EriePA is awarded a CRIZ designation, this will have far-reaching implications for Erie’s future as it will create a sustainable source of funding for economic and community development for decades to come. I am happy that we are working together to make it happen.

Everyone else – take any of these steps:
• Choose less strenuous activities (like walking instead of running) so you don’t breathe as hard.
• Shorten the amount of time you are active outdoors.
• Be active outdoors when air quality is better. (3/4) #AirNow #AirQuality
