Indianapolis, In. — Republican state representative Randy Frye received the Honorary Lifetime Membership Award from the Indiana Volunteer Firefighter’s Association for his dedication and support of fire services.
The Indiana Volunteer Firefighter’s Association is a member-ran organization working to help shape the laws and regulations that impact firefighters and residences of Indiana. The association gives the Honorary Lifetime Membership Award to members of the Indiana General Assembly who work to support Indiana firefighters and services.
“The work of the Indiana Volunteer Firefighter’s Association is essential,” Frye said. “I will continue my partnership with them and look for ways to support all of our Hoosier firefighters. After serving communities as a firefighter for many years, I understand firsthand the hard work and dedication these men and women give to their community in an effort to keep citizens safe.”
Frye worked as a firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department for 26 years and retired in 2010. During his time serving as a state representative, Frye authored numerous laws to better protect and serve firefighters. This session, Frye supported laws creating a reporting system for fire departments to better protect their responders and updating fire department contracts to better serve volunteer fire departments and townships.
Frye was presented the Honorary Lifetime Membership Award at the Indiana Volunteer Firefighter’s Association annual conference in Indianapolis.
