Dear FCAM Chiefs:
On March 8, 2021, at 10:30 a.m., the virtual 31st Firefighter of the Year Awards will premiere on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/MassDFS/) or on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/DFSOSFM). I invite you and your colleagues to join us. After the premiere, it will be available on those outlets and on the DFS Firefighter of the Year Awards webpage https://www.mass.gov/service-details/firefighter-of-the-year-awards).
I share the nominating chiefs’ pride in the amazing performance of these firefighters and despite the pandemic, did not want those heroics to pass unheralded.
Yours truly,
Peter J. Ostroskey
State Fire Marshal
