Fire Marshal Eric Guevin of the Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District (TDFPD) was recently awarded the Fire Prevention Association of Nevada (FPAN) 2020 Golden Sparky Award.
The Golden Sparky Award is the State of Nevada’s highest award for outstanding achievement in fire prevention and fire safety education for fire service personnel.
Guevin has served as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Fire Education Network Representative for the State of Nevada. In this capacity, Eric became a vital liaison between the FPAN, the Fire Safety Educators of Nevada, and NFPA.
Fire Marshal Guevin brought to the attention of NFPA the fire safety hazards and concerns of the Vacation Home Rental (VHR) industry. Because of this, NFPA began a study on this important fire and life safety issue.
"He consistently serves with true consideration and compassion for all,” said Silvia Lee, FPAN Representative for the State of Nevada.
"Congratulations, Fire Marshal Guevin. We appreciate that you always serve our community with care, professionalism, and respect," said FPAN in a press release.
Guevin has been with TDFPD since 2010.
