Vigilant Hose Company Member Elyssa Cool was awarded the prestigious Silver Spring Fire Prevention Trophy on June 20, 2017, during the 125th Anniversary Conference and Convention of the Maryland State Firemen’s Association in Ocean City.
The award is the highest fire/rescue prevention-related recognition in the State of Maryland and 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 rather than a group or department effort. Commenting on the award, VHC President Frank Davis said, “We are very proud of Elyssa and her great work helping our community and neighboring communities with safety messaging and presentations. She enjoys the support of our entire organization as she helps our personnel to successfully reach out to the public with numerous year-round fire and life safety initiatives.”
