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.

For a better #EriePA, I encourage City Council to support our 5/4 CRIZ board proposal.

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
