AWARDS
Each year we recognize those among us who do good deeds to make the City of Seward a better place to live. Award recipients are nominated by the volunteers, and selected by the Fire Chief and Deputy Fire Chief. Awards are announced at a formal banquet each spring, and winners are nominated for equivalent award at the state level.
