这National Fire Protection Association(NFPA) presented four awards to recognize outstanding achievements in fire and life safety at NFPA’s Conference & Expo in Chicago.
哈里C. Bigglestone奖
这哈里C. Bigglestone奖is given annually to the paper appearing in消防技术最好在防火概念的交流中代表卓越。2015年的获胜者是“鉴定来自Wildland -Urban界面（WUI）大火的Firebrand暴露：2007年Angora Fire的结果”by Ethan I. D. Foote, an active member of the California Fire Chiefs Association, Fire Prevention Officers Section and retired member of the International Association of Firefighters, CALFIRE Local 2881, and塞缪尔·L·曼泽洛（Samuel L. Manzello）of the Fire Research Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).该论文研究了野生城市界面的火焰暴露的问题，这是一个非常相关且当前的问题，迄今为止研究不足。获奖论文是由消防技术editorial board and associate editors out of the 82 papers published in 2014 which were eligible for the award.
Harry C. Bigglestone奖每年颁发给提交给的最杰出的论文的作者，每年颁发5,000美元的现金奖消防技术在上一个日历年度，由国际编辑委员会投票。该奖项以已故的哈里·C·比格勒斯通（Harry C. Bigglestone）命名消防研究基金会，以及消防工程师协会的同胞和主席。
消防研究基金会Medal
中标项目的2015消防再保险search Foundation Medal is“Development of Standardized Cooking Fires for Evaluation of Prevention Technologies Data Analysis.”该项目的目的是开发标准的火灾方案，并创建测试方法和性能标准，以符合标准的开发，从而为识别烹饪消防技术提供了标准化的方法。消防研究基金会认可了2014年完成的一个项目，该项目最能说明该基金会的安全任务，技术挑战克服了和协作的执行方法，这是所有基金会项目的标志。
This winning project was sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and was led by a multi-industry steering team, including government agencies and the insurance industry. Collaboration from the association of Home Appliance Manufacturers was key to the projects’ successful implementation. JENSEN HUGHES was the Foundation’s contractor for the project.
该项目始于2010年，当时基金会首次启动了一项计划，以审查能够防止烹饪范围最高火灾的各种技术的潜在有效性。作为该项目的一部分进行的研讨会考虑了商业产品在市场上的出现，并确定了开发标准化测试和标准以评估此类设备的性能和有效性的必要性。
工业消防部门防火周奖
工业消防区防火周奖的获胜者是McKee Foods Corporationfor their exceptional Fire Prevention Week program and their keen awareness of the dangers that fires and aerosolized dust can pose in their baking facilities. During Fire Prevention Week 2014, McKee Foods displayed NFPA posters, banners and handouts in high traffic zones throughout their facilities. They also aired several PSA (public service announcement) spots on their closed circuit television, and hosted a giveaway contest for their nearly 6,000 employees, featuring eight combination carbon monoxide/smoke alarm units and two ABC-rated fire extinguishers.
此外，McKee Foods与Tri-State Mutual Aid Association合作，邀请40多个区域消防部门分发McKee Foods的产品和约60,000个家庭逃生计划。该公司还通过寻求当地消防检查员和消防部门的帮助，向其员工提供烟雾警报和消防安全教育。
Standards Medal
今年的标准奖章是肯尼思·W·林德。由于他的领导和对NFPA标准发展过程的持续贡献，Linder因该奖项而受到荣誉。林德（Linder）是消防工程师协会的研究员，是对消防保护界许多成员的著名和备受推崇的领导者和个人导师。30多年来，他曾在众多NFPA技术委员会任职，包括几个主席，包括他目前担任自动喷水剂系统相关委员会主席。Linder目前是康涅狄格州温莎的瑞士Re的副总裁兼自然灾难专家。
This award recognizes and honors outstanding contributions to fire safety, and the development of NFPA codes and standards. This award is the most distinguished award given by the NFPA Standard’s Council.
