After two years of intense preparation and documentation of department processes, an on-site inspection by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) resulted in accreditation status for the Union Township Fire Department. The process of complying with strict and comprehensive standards that number in the hundreds, as well as maintaining documentation for each indicator, is ongoing. The department accreditation manager must file annual compliance reports to CFAI, indicating continual improvement and progress toward meeting the site-visit recommendations. Every five years, the department must undergo the accreditation process anew. The mission of the CFAI is to promote excellence within fire and emergency services departments through continuous quality improvement. This goal is achieved through a variety of mediums, including an in-depth self-assessment and on-site evaluation. Successful completion of the evaluation will enhance training, quality of service, and information available to fire and emergency service agencies and personnel. The Union Township Fire Department is extremely proud to be just one of the less than 200 fire departments worldwide to achieve this accreditation. |
