Annually, an educator is selected from his or her state peers as the Fire and Life Safety Educator of the Year, which is presented at State Fire School. The award deserves prestigious recognition not only because the efforts of individuals in this field work to increase public awareness of safety issues, but also reduce the risks that firefighters put themselves in each time they go a call.
