New Firefighter Protection Bill Goes Into Effect
Wednesday, July 02, 2008 6:38:33 PM
TALLAHASSEE -- A new firefighter safety law is now in place to protect those that risk their lives to save ours.
The Aldridge-Benge Firefighter Safety Act went into effect Tuesday.
The law was named in honor of Orange County firefighters Todd Aldridge and Mark Benge, who died in 1989 after the truss roof of a gift shop collapsed.
Under the new law, owners of any commercial, industrial or multi unit residential structure, have to clearly mark if their buildings have lightweight roof or floor trusses, allowing firefighters to change their tactics when working in these types of structures.
