KVFD Personnel Recognition – 2025

Keystone Valley Fire Department would like to recognize all of its personnel for an outstanding and professional job throughout 2025.

Words cannot express our gratitude and appreciation for our Career Staff, who serve as the front line of KVFD every day and represent the organization with professionalism on every incident to which they respond.

We also extend our sincere thanks to our KVFD Volunteers, who selflessly dedicate countless hours away from their families to respond to emergencies and community events without hesitation. Several members contributed hundreds of volunteer hours this past year. Their dedication and commitment went toward bettering both themselves and Keystone Valley Fire Department.

Special recognition is given to Firefighter Ben Holmes and Firefighter Gavin Evans, who each completed over 300 hours of training this past year and successfully graduated from the National Firefighter I program and several other programs in firefighting. They are among the first 17-year-old students to complete this certification, marking a new direction for KVFD in certifying junior members prior to turning 18 and advancing to senior membership.

We also recognize Firefighter Scott Clements, who has proudly served as a volunteer for 21 years. This past year, FF Clements further demonstrated his commitment by attending Driver/Operator classes, strengthening his role not only as a firefighter but also as an apparatus operator.

In recognition of their dedication and commitment, FF Holmes, FF Evans, and FF Clements were presented Radio Straps from the Fire Chief, acknowledging that their hard work and efforts do not go unnoticed.

KVFD is proud of all its members and grateful for the continued service, sacrifice, and professionalism demonstrated throughout 2025.
