Barrow "Children After the Fire" gets national recognition

Each year, the IAFC solicits and receives hundreds of entries from fire service organizations across the country for consideration for the award. A review committee headed by Chief Ronny J. Coleman screens each program using criterion established during the 24-year existence of the program.

The seven finalists are then sent to the final selection committee comprised of past presidents of the International Association of Fire Chiefs. The top award winner will be announced at the IAFC Annual Conference Aug. 14-17, in Denver, Colo. Chief Robert Post will be representing the department at the event.
