Ken Cornelissen ​Firefighter of the Year Award


​The Firefighter of the Year Award is a prestigious honor that is only awarded by meeting the highest standards established in the Ken Cornelissen Firefighter of the Year criteria.  That criterion is dedication, loyalty, productivity, and professionalism.  Each and every firefighter displays and exhibits these on a regular basis; therefore, the selection of Firefighter of the Year is always a difficult one.  However, the award always goes to the individual that goes above and beyond.
