Dayna Hilton, a firefighter and fire safety educator with the Johnson County RFD #1 in Clarksville, Ark., was named the 2009 Fire and Life Safety Educator of the Year. The award was presented by Ernest Grant, NFPA Board Member and Nursing Education Clinician at the North Carolina Hospitals Jaycee Burn Center at the University of North Carolina.
Ms. Hilton volunteers about 3,000 hours each year to provide fire safety education to the public and has been using NFPA’s Learn Not to Burn® curriculum and Fire Prevention Week materials for more than six years. Along with “Sparkles” the Dalmatian, Ms. Hilton has delivered NFPA’s fire safety messages to millions of children and adults on PBS Kids Sprout, and “Fox and Friends” television programs.
In 2003, she began the annual fire safety awareness parade in her community, which grows each year. Thirteen local fire departments and more than 20 state and local organizations also participate.
