It's not too late to nominate your members for acts of bravery and heroism for the 2022 Firehouse Valor and Community Service Awards, the largest awards program of its kind in the fire service. We are looking for fire/rescue incidents that occurred in 2022, and to recognize ongoing community outreach efforts. The winners will appear in the September 2023 issue of Firehouse Magazine.

From our newsletter sponsor: At HURST Jaws of Life, we build rescue tools that extend lives. Visit jawsoflife.com.

Stay safe!
