Floyd Fritz, the deputy chief of the Pinehurst Fire Department, was presented the 2008 North Carolina Fireman of the Year Award during the North Carolina Firemen’s Association annual conference.
The award was presented Aug. 30 in Winston-Salem.
Fritz was recognized for his work promoting residential fire sprinklers. Since the mid-1990s, he has worked to install systems in Habitat for Humanity homes, according to a release from the village.
Over the past year, Fritz has traveled across the state helping fire departments and other organizations increase their awareness about this technology, the release said.
“Floyd is a true champion for a life-saving cause and a tremendous asset to not only this community, but to the fire prevention community as well,’’ said David Eagle, the fire chief in Danville, Va.
Fritz said he was surprised to be nominated.
“The Pinehurst Fire Department’s residential sprinkler initiative is truly a department effort, where every member has played a part; I am only a small part of the whole,’’ Fritz said in the release.
