AFD Earns Texas Best Practices Recognition from Texas Fire Chiefs Association

At the June 24, 2019 Council Meeting, Red Oak Fire Chief and Texas Fire Chiefs Association (TFCA) Board Member Eric Thompson recognized the Addison Fire Department for successfully completing the TFCA Best Practice Program.

The 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 including: 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 achieve this recognition. Addison is one of only eight of those cities who also has an ISO 1 rating!
