The “Bringing Safety Home” award recognizes a fire chief who uses educational materials from the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition and resources from NFPA’s Fire Sprinkler Initiative as a key part of a program to educate and ensure that decision-makers have information to upgrade or pass new residential fire sprinkler legislation at the local level. This year, the award went to Chief Tonya Hoover, Acting State Fire Marshal CAL FIRE, and was presented at the Fire Rescue International conference in Atlanta.
