Presentation to the Coppell Fire Department on receiving the Texas Fire Chief Association, “Fire Safety Award.”
Summary
The Coppell Fire Department is the recipient of the Texas Fire Chiefs Association’s 2018, “Fire Safety Award, recognizing a Texas Fire Department for implementing an innovative and progressive program that enhances their community’s’ fire and life safety service delivery.”
In 2017, the City of Coppell opened Life Safety Park, a 15,000-square foot multi-building facility, which has a rooted mission of combining the community education directives of the fire department, police department, and other life safety aspects into one location.
Life Safety Park is one of only two such facilities in the DFW Metroplex, making it special to Coppell and surrounding cities. Here is an excerpt from the nomination:
“As such, Life Safety Park has established itself as an innovative and valuable tool in the pursuit of fire and life safety education. Life Safety Park and the partnership between citizens and many City departments is a notable example of how Coppell make life safety and public education a City-wide priority.”
