Leon Valley Firefighters win Community Service Award from the International Code Council
The Leon Valley Fire Department is proud to report that they are the recipients of a 2015 "Community Service Award" presented by the International Code Council. The award was announced in Long Beach, California at the recent ICC annual conference. This award is presented for meritorious service by an organization that promotes the public health, safety and welfare by initiating activities or actions which are considered to be above and beyond the normal expectation.The Fire Department instituted a cooking safe apron program in an effort to reduce cooking fires in Leon Valley. Residents were asked to wear an official fire department cooking safe apron complete with Leon Valley FD patch/logo, when cooking. The idea was that if a resident walked away from the kitchen while cooking or became distracted, they would be reminded by the apron and return to the kitchen. This program reduced cooking related emergencies by more than 50% over the last two years in Leon Valley.

Screen printing the department shield/logo was the only cost involved in the new program thanks to Nora's Agency LLC., Insurance Plus! located at 6420 Bandera Rd. who purchased all the aprons needed for the program. Mrs. Perez is a long time business owner in Leon Valley, and an active member of the Leon Valley Area Chamber of Commerce.

"We are very grateful for the support from Mrs. Perez, and our Leon Valley Area Chamber of Commerce. To win an award from the International Code Council is a big deal, and we could not have done it without their support. Cooking related fires continue to be the number one cause of fires across the country, and to make an impact with our new program and be recognized for our efforts from the International Code Council is something everyone in Leon Valley should be proud of". 

Mrs. Perez will be recognized at the upcoming Leon Valley City Council meeting on November 3rd, 2015.
