Reputation Management White Paper
Development of this White Paper took place under the sponsorship of the Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firemen’s Association, a century-old organization dedicated to enhancing communication and continuing education among the fire service in the mid-Atlantic states.
The contents of this White Paper represent a distillation of several fire service leadership meetings that identified a series of social, cultural, and ethical issues impacting the fire service nationwide that demand increased awareness.
Firefighter Code of Ethics
The Fire Service is a noble calling, one which is founded on mutual respect and trust between firefighters and the citizens they serve. To ensure the continuing integrity of the Fire Service, the highest standards of ethical conduct must be maintained at all times.
The purpose of this National Firefighter Code of Ethics is to establish criteria that encourages fire service personnel to promote a culture of ethical integrity and high standards of professionalism in our field. The broad scope of this recommended Code of Ethics is intended to mitigate and negate situations that may result in embarrassment and waning of public support for what has historically been a highly respected profession.
