Fire Department Earns Recognized Status
Congratulations to the North Richland Hills Fire Department for being awarded "Recognized" status by Texas Fire Chiefs Association (TFCA) Best Practices Recognition Program. Only 16 fire departments across the state have earned this honor. 

The best practices program includes a rigorous evaluation of the agency's policies, procedures, facilities and operations i ncluding a  review of Administration and Organization, Emergency Medical Services, Fire Prevention, Risk Reduction, Community Outreach, Safety and Health and Professional Standards and Conduct.  After the department produced proof of compliance for each area, an internal review was conducted and all materials moved to an outside audit and review. The final step in the assessment process involved an on-site review by trained Fire Chiefs and Assistant Fire Chiefs from across Texas. 

The North Richland Hills Fire Department is proud to share this recognition with our citizens, and feels confident this award demonstrates the department's dedication to being among the best in Texas fire service.
