2009-10-13 - Bunker Hill Community College Professor Wins Chief Fire Officer Designation
October 13, 2009, Boston, MA – Thomas P. Bogart, adjunct instructor in the Fire Protection and Safety Program at Bunker Hill Community College and a lieutenant in the Fire Department of Lynn, Massachusetts, received the prestigious Chief Fire Officer credentials from the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), Dr. Bogusia Wojciechowska, BHCC Dean of Professional Studies, announced today.
The Commission on Professional Credentialing of the IAFC awards the Chief Fire Officer designation only after an assessment of the applicant’ s education, experience, professional development, technical competencies, contributions to the profession and community involvement. Only 660 firefighters worldwide have received these credentials.
“ Those earning Chief Fire Officer designation must have a rich knowledge of the emergency services profession and have far surpassed critical core competencies for personnel serving in similar senior fire officer positions,” said Dr. Wojciechowska. “ This is a great honor for Professor Bogart and for the College.”
Bogart has been a member of the Lynn Fire Department for 26 years and currently serves as the department’ s Communications Officer.
