On Oct. 22, the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) gathered community feedback on the Beverly Hills Fire Department (BHFD) during a special meeting at the Greystone Mansion. CPSE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has accredited 500 fire departments around the world. BHFD has been accredited since 2021 and is one of four fire departments in California to hold both an ISO Class 1 standing and an accreditation.
“It’s a pretty big deal,” said CPSE Technical Advisor Richard Merrell, who hosted the meeting.
