the "EMS for Children Award", and the 2025 National Dr. Anne W. Phillips Award for Leadership in Fire Safety Education presented by the Congressional Fire Services Institute (CFSI) and the International Fire Service Training Association (IFSTA)/FPP/OSU. The Anne Phillips Award recognizes individuals for outstanding lifetime achievements at the national level in fire and life safety education and was presented at the National Fire and Emergency Services Dinner in Washington, DC. Anyone who has had the opportunity to interact with Teresa Ann Crisman has come away from that experience as a better fire service professional. She has a laser focus on preventing bad things from happening to people within the entire spectrum of fire safety and injury prevention. It's impossible to count the number of lives she has saved, and injuries she has prevented, during her career. However, it's not just a coincidence that since the 1970s, civilian fire deaths and injuries in the U.S. have been reduced significantly. Fire prevention and education efforts are sure to have played a critical role in that accomplishment. Congratulations to Teresa for all that she has accomplished in a career that is continuing to this day. Thank you for sharing your abilities and passion to make the nation a safer place for all of us to live, work, and play! You're among the Very Best, my friend!
