Next up at the start of his firefighting career, Probationary Firefighter Kevin O’Neil officially begins riding the truck this week after successfully graduating from the fire academy.

Before joining the fire service, Kevin worked as a graphic designer, where his creativity, attention to detail, and dedication to excellence helped shape his professional career. Now, he begins a new chapter in public service, bringing those same qualities to the firehouse and the community he serves.

Outside of work, Kevin is a self-proclaimed Super Soaker champion and enjoys spending his free time playing Call of Duty. While the battlegrounds may look a little different now, we’re confident he’ll bring the same competitive spirit and determination to the truck.
