AGENDA CAPTION:

Presentation of Best Practices Recognition from the Texas Fire Chiefs Association for the Addison Fire Department.

BACKGROUND:

The Texas Fire Chiefs Association (TFCA) Best Practices program is a voluntary process where fire departments prove their compliance with the TFCA's current best practices. Being "recognized" means the department meets or exceeds all of the identified best practices. The best practice categories include: administration and organization, emergency medical service, training, special operations, records and information management, fire operations, fire prevention/risk reduction/community outreach, response analysis, communications, safety and health, resources management, professional standards, and conduct.

The Addison Fire Department is proud to be the 20th department in the state to have achieved this recognition.

RECOMMENDATION:

Information only, no action required.
