The award ceremony for 2026 EVT of the year Investigator and Educators, has been moved to the Arizona Fire Chiefs Association and Arizona Fire Districts Association conference in July. This  means we need to start the selection process now in order to be ready for the Chiefs conference. So nominations are open for all Arizona EVT's.
