Louis J. Amabili, a member of the CFSI Board of Directors since 1994, passed away earlier today following an illness. A member of the Delaware fire service since 1947, Lou gained national recognition in the fire service when President Richard Nixon appointed him to serve on the National Commission for Fire Prevention and Control in 1970, which produced the landmark report, AMERICA BURNING.
Lou joined the Hockessin (DE) Fire Company in 1947 and remained active in the fire service for more than 70 years. A graduate of the University of Delaware in 1949, he was appointed the first Director of the Delaware State Fire School in 1964 and served in that capacity through 1996. Upon his retirement, Governor Thomas Carper of Delaware signed a resolution naming the school the “Louis J. Amabili Fire Training Center.”
