The Boynton Award

Chief Henry “Hank” Boynton was a 30-year firefighter with the Syracuse Fire Department. An active member of Project Concern, Chief Boynton was committed to improving our community through his interest in fire safety and prevention especially with juvenile fire setters. Through Chief Boynton’s efforts, the “Learn Not to Burn” curriculum was introduced into the Syracuse City School District.

Each year during fire prevention week, an award is given to a worthy individual, group, and/or organization that has demonstrated a dedication to fire prevention and safety through outstanding leadership, initiative or donation of resources.
