Louisiana Night Out Against Crime was a great opportunity to spend time with the people we serve, strengthen community partnerships, and put our commitment to Community Risk Reduction into action.
We are especially proud that this event comes at a time when our department has been recognized as one of only 10 recipients of the 2026 Community Risk Reduction Award through the NFPA Fire Prevention Week program.
We were honored to receive this recognition and our Fire Prevention Week materials from Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office representative John Cailleteau. This award reflects the work our members continue to put into fire and life safety education, public outreach, community partnerships, and preventing emergencies before they happen.
Louisiana Night Out Against Crime is a perfect example of what Community Risk Reduction is all about—bringing first responders, local leaders, businesses, families, and neighbors together to build relationships, share information, and create a safer community.
We are proud of the work being done by our department, but even more proud to do it alongside the people of Bayou Blue.
Thank you to the NFPA, the Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office, our community partners, and everyone who came out and supported Louisiana Night Out Against Crime.
Prevention starts with partnership, and strong communities are built before the emergency ever happens.
