“The F.O.O.L.S. are about the brotherhood and tradition that the fire service is based on.  When we are in our gear, and trying to make our way
 down the dark, hot hallway, we are all the same.  All that matters is that you have my back, and I have yours.  We do not care if you are a
chief, a recruit, a volunteer, a career firefighter, a male, a female, or the color of your skin.  All we ask is that you are true to your
brother and sister firefighter, and to the fire service.”

  The Puget Sound FOOLS are very honored to have received three awards at the
2008 Convention

 

  FOOL OF THE YEAR - This Fools member is an all around ambassador to the mission statement of our organization. A member that has   spread the message of the Fools not only through his or her own chapter, but outside of the Fools, bringing in new members, and starting new chapters. By setting a good example to other firefighters, a positive image of our organization is spread to all who come in contact with him/her. (Last year's recipient was awarded to Mike Veseling, Southside FOOLS)

This year, the FOOL of the Year had two recipients; they were Chad Berg (Puget Sound FOOLS) and Chad Snyder (Southwest Washington FOOLS).

  DANA HANNON AWARD - Dana Hannon was a Fools member that made training part of his life. He was an FDIC East/FDIC West HOT instructor, as well as a member of the FDNY and Wyckoff, NJ Fire Department. Dana was killed on Sept. 11, 2001.

This award will be given to the Fools Member who shows a true passion for training his Brother and Sister firefighters. Through training, we can ensure that our Brothers and Sisters will have the knowledge and skills that will protect them on the job. (Last year's recipient was Bob Swick, Miami Valley FOOLS)

This year's recipient for the Dana Hannon award is Rob Fisher, Puget Sound FOOLS.

 
  CHRIS BLACKWELL AWARD - Chris was a Firefighter for the FDNY assigned to Rescue 3. Chris was also a Fools member, receiving his card only 3 months before being killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Chris was also into training, teaching collapse training at FDIC and FDIC West as a HOT instructor. Chris was also awarded numerous times with medals of bravery from the FDNY.

This award will be given to the most active Fools Chapter. A chapter that has been active in their own community and fire service community by fund raising events, training opportunities and the like. A Fools Chapter that has shown not only their fellow firefighters, but the general public the true brotherhood of our profession through purpose, kindness and dedication. (Last years recipient was Hernando Hommteam FOOLS)
