National Firefighting Hall of Heroes
Firehouse Magazine Rescue Award Winners for 1997
| Firehouse Magazine
honors firefighters from the United States for acts of heroism in its April edition.
Firehouse has done so since 1978. Candidates for the award are submitted by
their fire departments and selected by a board of fire professionals. Competition is
intense.
Following publication of its April edition,
Firehouse sends the records and photographs to the Hall of Flame, where they are housed for permanent referral
by Firehouse Magazine staff members.
Hall
of Flame staff members use the records to create displays for the National Firefighting
Hall of Heroes. Winners are recognized on the walls of the gallery. The
photographs and citations are usually more extensive than that |
which appears in the April
edition of Firehouse because the Hall of Heroes does not have the space
constraints of the magazine.
Rescue Award winners for 1997, 1998,
1999 , 2000 and 2001
are now published on this web site. Please
use it as a supplement to the fine work of Firehouse Magazine.
We encourage our
visitors to examine the web site of Firehouse Magazine. It is a mine of information
for anyone interested in American firefighting. Visitors to the Firehouse
website can make arrangements to subscribe to the magazine directly
from the site.
