South Metro Fire Rescue Authority earns accreditation

The South Metro Fire Rescue Authority was awarded accreditation
by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International March 8 at
the commission’s spring meeting in Orlando, Fla. The accreditation
is valid for five years.

“This is an enormous achievement,” said Chief Daniel Qualman.
“We have been evaluated by our peers and found to have met or
exceeded national standards.”

The accreditation process gives the South Metro Fire Rescue
Authority the opportunity to assess and evaluate our fire and
emergency service as well as gives us a model for continuous
improvement and method of providing the highest level of service to
our community, Qualman said.
