The NVFC has extended the deadline for Fire Prevention Award nominations to February 1. There is still time to nominate a volunteer firefighter whose outstanding achievements in the fire service and in the community exemplify the philosophy of fire prevention. Visit www.nvfc.org for more information, including award criteria and a nomination form.
The NVFC Fire Prevention Award, sponsored by First Alert, was established in the memory of volunteer firefighter Marc Mueller, who energetically promoted the causes of volunteer firefighters and supported all efforts to elevate the volunteer program to its highest level. He dedicated much of his life to public service and made major strides to bring prestige, credibility, and recognition to volunteer firefighters nationwide.
To nominate an individual for the NVFC Fire Prevention Award, submit a nomination packet including:
1. nomination form (available at www.nvfc.org/awards.html)
2. a background sheet or resume containing an overview of the individual’s experience, education, and other pertinent information
