The corrected release reads:
ADVISORY/Fireman's Fund Insurance Company and Clear Channel Radio
    Stations Announce Countywide ``Call to Action'' to Support Fire
                              Departments

       San Diego Residents Can Raise Money for Area Firefighters
                 Through a Web-based Voting Process

WHAT:          Fireman's Fund Insurance Company (FFIC) and Clear
               Channel radio will kick-off Fire Prevention Month with
               a "Call to Action" to the citizens of San Diego to
               support their local fire departments.

               Through the Fireman's Fund Heritage(SM) program, which
               supports firefighters for safer communities, and this
               "Call to Action," FFIC will donate a total of $50,000
               to five fire departments in San Diego County.

               During the entire month of October, FFIC is urging
               county residents to go online to their favorite Clear
               Channel radio station's Web site and vote to decide
               which departments should receive a donation.  Two
               volunteer and three paid departments with the most
               votes will receive $10,000 each to fund equipment,
               firefighter training and fire prevention activities.
               By listening to their favorite Clear Channel radio
               stations, residents will hear regular updates on the
               vote and other fire safety and prevention information.

                       online "Call to Action" process

WHY:           Firefighters and rescue workers across the country face
               an increased demand on their services as a result of
               population growth and new threats. Yet, despite the
               increased demand fire departments face serious funding
               challenges, leaving many volunteer and paid fire
               departments without the resources for adequate
               equipment or training.  In San Diego, the wildfires of
               2003 were a clear indicator of the increased fire
               safety and prevention needs.

               In April, FFIC committed $1 million to fire
               departments, and safety and prevention programs in San
               Diego County.  The company will reach the $1 million
               milestone this Fall through the Clear Channel "Call to
               Action" donations and a second round of grants to fire
               departments in the County.
