Hal Bruno Honored at National Fire and Emergency Services Dinner
A veteran of the fire service for over 40 years, Mr. Bruno has made significant contributions to the fire service at the local and national levels. Since 1976 when Firehouse magazine was first established, Bruno has been writing the monthly "Fire Politics" column, providing cogent and insightful information to his readers on the salient issues facing the fire service over the past 32 years. On Capitol Hill and at the White House, Bruno has always been admired and respected for his integrity and ability to work with Democrats and Republicans alike to address important issues impacting our nation's firefighters and rescue personnel. An original member of the National Fallen Firefighters Board of Directors, Mr. Bruno was appointed Chairman in 1999, a position he served in with distinction. Under his leadership, the Foundation flourished, offering new programs and providing additional benefits and services to the family members of our fallen heroes. Although recently announcing his retirement as Chairman, he remains a member of the Foundation's Board. "When you think of ambassadors of the American Fire Service, Hal is among a select group of leaders who truly fit the mold," said CFSI President William Jenaway. "For more than 40 years, he has represented our nation's first responders at every level of government with pride and distinction. What drives him is an agenda dedicated to the health and safety of our firefighters and the well being of surviving family members. The CFSI Board of Directors takes great pride in honoring Hal Bruno with the 2008 Mason Lankford Fire Service Leadership Award."
