FIRE CHIEFS/OFFICERS/ADMINISTRATORS: DO YOU HAVE A FIRE FIGHTER IN YOUR RANKS WHO HAS GONE "ABOVE AND BEYOND"?
DO YOU FEEL THEY DESERVE RECOGNITION AMONGST THEIR PROVINCIAL PEERS ?
The SVFFA FIRE FIGHTER OF THE YEAR AWARD will honor up to one outstanding individual from each of the 10 zones.
The applicant must be a VOLUNTEER in good standing and have been a member for at least ONE FULL YEAR. The Department must also have been an SVFFA member for a full calendar year.
Contributing attributes could include; attendance to meetings/practices, performance during actual live calls, volunteering in
the community for events as a representative of the dept., personal educational achievements/goals (certificates, test scores), safety awareness, leadership abilities/intangibles, fire prevention, public education, ability to secure resources, first aid/responder/medical skills, shuffling work and personal schedules to attend/respond to department business etc.
As a leader you will need to pick the ONE candidate from your team. This may be a daunting task as you may have several who would fit the bill. But, for obvious reasons, only one can be selected (keep in mind you may nominate one of your other "All Stars" the following year provide they continue their outstanding service).
You can write the application in any form you desire: formal letter, bullet point, essay style etc. (please though, no poems).
Pick your candidate and submit the application by June 1st to the Executive Director at executivedirector@svffa.ca
Winners will be chosen and their Chief informed prior to the award ceremony at the Fall SVFFA Fire School.
This award will be for the "rank and file" members therefore Fire Chiefs will not be eligible for this award. …HOWEVER… We will include deputies and other officers.
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact your zone reps or the Executive Director at executivedirector@svffa.ca.
