 Good morning everyone. It's been easy to your community outreach specialist and today I'm back out at Pasco safety town for none Other than the 75th anniversary slash birthday of Smokey the Bear Thank y'all for coming out for Smokey the Bear 75th birthday celebration. Congratulations, Smokey We want to thank the partnership we've got with the Pasco County Sheriff's Office and Safety Town Smokey's had a cabin here for five years that we've given us an opportunity to have lots of training Talked to lots of kids teaching about the importance of fire safety and preventing wildfires Smokey's been at it for a very long time doing this still looking great In fact smokey has been the icon for the longest running public service Program in the US Over 75 years of doing that. So that's great. It's a very important message. Smokey's been doing that for so long Teaching people of all ages about the importance of being safe when they're out in the woods preventing wildfires But there's still a lot of work that we need to do smokey Our statistics say over the last five years here in the state of Florida We've had nearly 12,000 wildfires burning almost a half a million acres in the last five years And unfortunately most of those are caused by people. So we've got a lot of work We still need to do which makes it all that more obvious that we need to maintain this partnership here at Safety Town Keep teaching the kids how to be safe in the woods have them teach their parents how to be safe They're gonna be the guardians of the forest of the future So thank you very much for this opportunity to be here and thank you again for hosting us here during smokey's 75th birthday Congratulations, Smokey.
