Body

The Coral Gables Fire Department has received Accredited Agency status with the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) for the fifth consecutive time making Coral Gables Fire an Accredited agency since the year 2000.  Coral Gables Fire Department is one of more than 250 agencies to achieve Internationally Accredited Agency status with the CFAI and the Center for Public Safety Excellence, Inc.

CFAI is dedicated to assisting the fire and emergency service agencies throughout the world in achieving excellence through self-assessment and accreditation in order to provide continuous quality improvement and the enhancement of service delivery to their communities.  The CFAI process is voluntary and provides an agency with an improvement model to assess their service delivery and performance internally and then works with a team of peers from other agencies to evaluate their completed self-assessment.
