The International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and International Code Council (ICC) have announced the winner of their yearly Excellence in Fire and Life Safety Award.
This collaboration is notable with the IAFC‘s Fire and Life Safety Section (FLSS), whose members play a vital role in shaping the ICC’s code development process.
The Excellence in Fire and Life Safety Award is a collaboration between the ICC and FLSS and this year, the award was present to Peg Paul, Founder and President of Peg Paul and Associates.
Peg’s career in fire safety began in 1992, when she developed a consumer education program focused on preventing injuries and deaths from hot water heaters.
According to the ICC and FLSS, she has been an advocate, working with various organizations, including the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition, the National Fire Protection Association and Vision 20/20.
As a media spokesperson, presenter and advocate, Peg has also raised awareness about critical fire safety issues, especially the importance of home fire sprinklers.
As IAFC Fire and Life Safety Section Chair, Chief Greg Rogers, stated, “The progress she has helped the industry make in home fire sprinkler awareness is a testament to the dedication of countless partners and champions in the fire service.”
In a closing statement, the ICC and IAFC FLSS said that Peg Paul’s work embodied the spirit of the Excellence in Fire and Life Safety Award, extending their congratulations to her.
