It may be the fall season, but many Arizonans are still hitting the pool–making water safety a year-round concern.\u00a0Fulton Homes believes that even close calls can be avoided when the community as a whole puts an emphasis on water safety and, for the past 15 years, Fulton Homes has made it its mission to focus on the importance of water safety via its\u00a0Two Seconds is Too Long campaign and Fence Patrol program.<\/p>\n
Fence Patrol:<\/strong><\/p>\n Every summer for the past 15 years, Fulton Homes has sponsored their Fence Patrol program where they give away pool fences to Valley families in need. Fence Patrol highlights the importance of always watching children around water and acts as a reminder that water emergencies can happen in seconds. This year alone, 25 children in Arizona drowned, many due to not having the proper barricades put up around a pool. During May, June, July and August, Fulton Homes Fence Patrol gave out one fence a week to deserving families who all had their unique stories to tell. Among the winners was a woman in need of a fence to finalize the adoption of her first child, a grandmother who watches her 10 grandchildren, and a mother of four special needs children. CEO Doug Fulton started this program to \u201cput more protective fences around pools in hopes of making Valley families safer.”<\/p>\n
