Fire Service Community Achievement Award Application

Volunteer firefighters have the courage to face danger and the heart to help out in their communities. On the fireground or around town, so many continue to give and sacrifice beyond the fire service every day.

Every year, FASNY gives the Fire Service Community Achievement Award to an active volunteer firefighter who is also active with one or more community service organizations.

If you know someone deserving of recognition, you’re invited to nominate an individual who complements active fire service with involvement in civic organizations, charitable programs and other community groups.

Criteria

Applicants must:

  • Be an active member of his or her department.
  • Lead an organization that uses fire service-related projects to demonstrate dedication to their departments and communities as well as a commitment to training.
  • Support a program that exhibits the qualities of honor, teamwork and allegiance to the volunteer fire service.
  • Applications MUST contain a picture of the applicant.
  • Deadline for application submissions is March 15, 2026.
  • Recipients will be selected on APRIL 15, 2026.
    NOTE: FASNY award winners will be publicly promoted in press releases and print publications as well as on television, radio or the web. The Association reserves the right to use the person’s image for publicity, including – but not limited to – print, broadcast and web/social media. The recipient is expected to speak at the annual Convention and be available for photo opportunities, television appearances and other promotional events. In the event the recipient does not agree to these terms, the name may be withdrawn. In the event that we are in a National/State of emergency, due the Pandemic or other natural disaster the award ceremony may be held at the award winner’s department or alternate site.

Nominations

  • Any department officer, member or parent can nominate an individual for the award.
