To Whom It May Concern:

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the updates to the Statewide Fire Prevention Code. My name is Linda Hale and I am the Chief Fire Marshal for the Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System.  And am the responsible Fire Code Official for Loudoun County and her seven incorporated towns.   As an advocate for the safety of all Virginians, I would like to add my name to the comments made by the Virginia Fire Chiefs Association.

Sincerely,

Linda Hale
