Somehow Facebook glitched- and the post got removed.
So we will try this again.

⭐️ Hometown Hero Spotlight: Captain Kevin Puffalt
For the past 21 years, Captain Kevin Puffalt has proudly served our community as a firefighter, driven by a simple but powerful goal: helping others when they need it most.
When Kevin isn't answering emergency calls, you'll likely find him on the farm with his wife Caroline. Alongside his farming duties, he's become well-known for growing some truly excellent garlic — a skill that has earned him plenty of praise around the community!
After more than two decades of service, Kevin continues to demonstrate the dedication, commitment, and community spirit that make volunteer firefighters such an important part of our town.
Captain Kevin's Safety Tip:�Never assume a sounding smoke alarm is a false alarm. By treating every alarm seriously, you'll be prepared to respond appropriately by getting out, staying out, and calling 911 in the event of a fire.
Thank you, Captain Puffalt, for your 21 years of service and for helping keep our community safe!

⭐️ We are back again with our next hometown hero!

Meet Fire Captain Daniel Lyons

For 21 years, Daniel has been answering the call and serving our community. Was becoming a firefighter a lifelong dream? Not exactly. When asking Daniel what made him want to join the KFD he responded with “I got told to” 😂. Safe to say we are sure thankful he followed the chain of command from the very beginning- He is a huge asset to our FD.

Daniel is one of our Fire Captains, bringing two decades of experience, leadership, and calm to every emergency scene.
And if you don't see him at the fire hall, don't assume he's off duty. He is also a Primary Care Paramedic, which means if you're having a rough day, there's a pretty good chance he'll be showing up in one uniform or another.
When he's not helping people through emergencies, Daniel enjoys spending time with his wife, Mary, and their two sons.

Daniel's advice for the public is:
"Take a deep breath. Don't panic. A clear head can make all the difference in an emergency."

Twenty-one years of service, countless calls, and still showing up when people need him most. Thank you, Captain Lyons, for your dedication to this community.

Give Daniel a wave when you see him around town—but preferably not from the back of an ambulance.

⭐️ Keeping our Hometown Heroes series rolling—because the people who show up when things go sideways deserve the spotlight.

Next up: Our Deputy Chief, Mr. Benny Baker.

If Benny isn’t tinkering around the fire hall or wrangling a wayward hose, he’s probably zipping by in a Baker Enterprise truck, dangling from a bucket truck like it’s his natural habitat, or politely convincing a tree it’s time to come down. On sunny days, you might catch him cruising on his motorbike.

Benny has served on the fire department for 46 years—yes, forty six years, which officially qualifies him as a legend.

Benny had many safety tips to share but His big one was: keep your home tidy and your hallways and stairs clear. One day those paths might need to be used in a hurry….. and you’ll want them as wide open as Benny’s calendar on the five minutes a week he isn’t helping someone.

KFD was busy in this wind. We were toned out at 12:49 for mutual aid with Wawota for a grass fire. And while attending that call, also received a call for a downed power line bush fire at another location.

All units back in service by 4:30.

Stay safe!
