Good Morning everyone!
On this addition of Friday’s Firefighter, we present to you, Lieutenant Kenny Tamplin.
Lieutenant Tamplin started with the CPVFD a couple of years back after moving into the area.
His years of service go back to when he started with our neighboring department of Bedias VFD, where he worked his way through the ranks to Chief.
Lt. Tamplin recently was promoted to his current position at Station 41-Crabb’s Prairie, where he hit the ground running.
He strives to teach others and mentor our younger generation of firefighters, so they can be at their very best with every call.

We apologize for a being a day or so late with this. It’s been a busy week.
But without further ado, here is our Friday’s Firefighter this Sunday:
Lieutenant Kellie Grossman joined our department a couple of years ago, just wanting to help the community.
With a servant’s heart, she quickly saw the need for first responders in our area and started her emergency medical responder course. Upon completion of this course, her quest for knowledge did not stop there and she again advanced her skills into an emergency medical technician course.
Showing her willingness to advance and help the department, she was promoted to Lieutenant at Station 43-Pine Prairie.
Kellie is a graduate of SHSU and is currently employed by SHSU.
She, along with her husband, Ethan Grossman, are one of our “Husband/Wife Teams” that we have at CPVFD.
Her desire and tenacity to help her community is one to be admired.

This week, we sing the praises of those that save lives every single day of the year. To all of our EMS providers, we ar...

*DRILL NIGHT*

This evening, things shifted for our “Push In Ceremony” due to impending weather to crews making ready our “High Water Rescue” Truck and attending a class on Accountability on the Fire Ground.

As tradition, each Firefighter I Class presents the department a customary gift from their class.
This evening, Class 2025/2026 presented a customized helmet to the department for display.

We greatly apologize for cancelling our ceremony this evening. We were anticipating storms and rain. Thank you to all and we hope to see each of you on June 2.
