Celebrate the Jewish Holiday Safely
Incident #: Date of Incident: 9/18/2012 Issuing Officer: AC Schaeffer
Narrative:
The Spokane Fire Department is encouraging everyone's heightened safety awareness during the Jewish High Holiday celebrations in September and October: Rosh Hashanah - Begins at sundown on September 17 and ends at sundown on September 18, 2012. Yom Kippur - Begins at sundown on September 25 and ends at sundown on September 26, 2012. The Feast of Sukkot - Begins at sundown on September 30 and ends at sundown on October 8, 2012 Shemini Atzeret-Simchat Torah - Begins October 7 and ends at sundown on October 9, 2012. It is the hope of the SFD to maintain an elevated sense of awareness regarding community activities and to maintain our sensitivities at a level where only the highest level of service will continually be provided. We are asking help from the public too... Jewish holidays including the Sabbath are for many a time of family gatherings, celebrated with songs, special foods, and customs. Many holy days and observances, as well as the Sabbath, are a time for traditional cooking and candle rituals. However, without safety precautions, these customary religious observances may increase the risk for fires and fire-related injuries. Please celebrate your heritage safely and exercise due diligence with candles and cooking; and remember to make sure smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are functioning properly.
