Episode Details

Olympia just made history by naming Hillory Flowers as its first female Fire Chief — a groundbreaking moment celebrated by city leaders and the fire service community. Joining the department in 2025 after 19 years with Lacey Fire District Three, Flowers rose through the ranks, served as deputy chief, and even led as interim chief before her official appointment. Praised for her leadership, relationships, and professionalism, Flowers expressed deep honor at taking on the role, while Mayor Dontae Payne emphasized how this milestone inspires young girls and women everywhere. This historic move signals progress not just for Olympia’s fire department, but for representation in leadership across the city.
