Louisiana agency announces its first community risk reduction director

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — The Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office announced who will serve as its first community risk reduction director.

Kory Leo was named director of the new position. The agency said he has almost 30 years of experience in the fire and emergency industry, with a focus on fire safety education with the Natchitoches Fire Department for the last seven years.

“Having a dedicated leader to take the agency’s Community Risk Reduction vision forward is something I’ve been anxious to have in place and I couldn’t be more proud to have a nationally-recognized fire educator in line to be that leader,” said DPS Principal Assistant Chief Bryan J Adams.

The agency began work in 2022 to create its first community risk reduction program, using a web-based data assessment tool that fire departments can use to identify the highest risks in their communities to create educational campaigns.

“I’m very excited to work alongside those who have already created this foundation and to grow it,” said Leo. “I appreciate Chief Adams’ vision for ensuring Louisiana is a leader in Community Risk Reduction efforts across the country with the ultimate goal of saving lives.”
