 SILVER SPRING TROPHY AWARD

 

Purpose of Award: Recognition of fire prevention efforts by an individual.

Award Sponsor: Silver Spring Volunteer Fire Department, Inc.

 
Award Administered By:
M.S.F.A. Fire Prevention Committee and Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office
 
Background:
The Silver Spring Trophy was established in 1981 by the Silver Spring Volunteer Fire Department and accepted by the Executive Committee.  This award is presented each year at the MSFA Annual Convention to an individual who does the most in fire prevention for his/her community.  The award is for an individual effort and, therefore, submission of the entry must be for one individual rather than a group or department effort.  The intent of the award is to recognize fire prevention activities which the individual performs within his/her community.  The trophy is held by the individual for one year and then passed on.  The winner will receive an individual plaque for permanent possession.

  5. The nomination and related information must be in the hand of the State Fire Marshal’s Office no later than April 30.
     
  6. Nominees are subject to investigation by the judges.
     
  7. Dates of the fire prevention activities should cover the previous calendar year (January - December).
     
  8. Judges shall be appointed by the State Fire Marshal's Office in accordance with the MSFA Fire Prevention Committee's procedures.
