CARY, IL - Cary Fire Protection District Captain Dennis Krenz will be presented with a Life Safety Award on Thursday at the 76th annual Fire Prevention Week Luncheon hosted by the nonprofit Illinois Fire Safety Alliance, according to a news release.
Krenz has volunteered to teach CPR to every sophomore at Cary Grove High School for almost 30 years, well before it became a requirement by state law in 2014. That’s approximately 14,000 students he has impacted over the years. He also discusses other important safety topic such as seat belts, climbing ladders, and fire safety items and prevention in the home and school, according to a press release.
Expecting over 500 members of the Illinois fire service in attendance, the event highlights and honors those who have gone above and beyond in fire safety and burn prevention. The Life Safety Award is given to an organization, department or individual that has achieved a pattern of excellence in bringing life safety into the lives of others
