Donation Recognition
The Commission on Fire Prevention and Control; Connecticut Fire Academy has benefited greatly from numerous donations by manufacturers and sales representatives of fire and life safety equipment. These donations permit our students to be exposed to and utilize state-of-the-art equipment during training. In addition, this allows department members to objectively evaluate equipment in preparation of specifying equipment for purchase plus ensuring they purchase what is "best" for their operation.
The Commission gratefully acknowledges the following vendors for their generous contributions toward a safer Connecticut.
