The National Voluneer Fire Council has extended the deadline for Fire Prevention Award nominations to Feb. 1. The award honors volunteer firefighters who exemplify the philosophy of fire prevention.

The NVFC Fire Prevention Award, sponsored by First Alert, was established in the memory of volunteer firefighter Marc Mueller, who promoted the causes of volunteer firefighters and supported all efforts to elevate the volunteer program to its highest level. He dedicated much of his life to public service and made major strides to bring prestige, credibility, and recognition to volunteer firefighters nationwide.

• Nomination form.
