The award was announced by Roy L. Marshall, Director of the RFSI. For 15 years, the Life Safety Achievement Award has recognized the local fire prevention activities that contributed to reducing the number of lives lost in residential fires. The Central County Fire and Rescue qualified for this award in year 2007 because it recorded zero fire deaths in structures during that year. Although residential fires in the U.S. account for only 20 percent of all fires, they result in 80 percent of all fire deaths. The RFSI is committed to reducing that number. A total of 745* fire departments in the U.S., Italy and Iceland received the 2007 Life Safety Achievement Award.
