Each year, Seattle Fire honors and celebrates individuals and programs that demonstrate excellence in emergency response, leadership, customer service, and community impact.

Employee of the Year is awarded to a professional staff member who carries out their responsibilities in an exemplary fashion.

This year’s recipient is Allison Dolzonek, who is widely acknowledged as one of our most savvy staff with technology and is often sought after for help. She seeks efficient solutions, but also understands the culture of the fire department and tailors her solutions to the needs of our members.
