Nominations for the IERC Awards
The Indiana Emergency Response Conference (IERC) Awards Program was created in conjunction with the former Indiana Emergency Medical Services Conference Awards Program and the Indiana Fire Chiefs Association Awards Program. The IERC Awards Program was established to recognize outstanding achievements and to honor those in Indiana’s Public Safety Organizations whose accomplishments rise above the day to day excellence in training, education and safety.
Each day in Indiana, members of fire departments and EMS agencies save lives and perform countless noteworthy acts to their community. These awards are a tribute to those individuals and organizations whose overall contributions go beyond their basic duties and responsibilities and who represent the finest traditions of our professions.
Anyone, including the nominee, can submit a nomination for any award. Individual nominees must be currently certified at the level for which they are nominated. The primary reason(s) for which the person or agency is being nominated must have occurred in Indiana.
For all categories the nomination must be based on an individuals or organizational overall contributions, body of work, or sustained performance, not on single acts of heroism. Heroism acts may be part of the nomination but not the sole basis.
