"To Whom It May Concern:

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the updates to the Statewide Fire Prevention Code. My name is Chris Eudailey and I serve as the Executive Director for the Virginia Fire Chiefs Association and recently retired as the Fire Chief for Spotsylvania Department of Fire, rescue and EM. 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.  The safety and welfare of the citizens and visitors of the Commonwealth would be jeopardized if the proposed fire code changes were adopted as published. Thanks for the opportunity to share these concerns.

Sincerely,

R. Christian Eudailey

Executive Director/ Fire Chief (Ret.)

VFCA/ Spotsylvania Department of Fire, Rescue and EM
