Kirkland welcomes four new firefighters from South King County training consortium

The City of Kirkland introduced four new firefighters who graduated from the South King County Fire Training Consortium and joined the department this month, the city's July 10 podcast said.

"We have 4 fire fighters, Lucas Allen, Matthew Nelson, Cameron Pisica, and Kyle Robinson, who have officially graduated from the South King County Fire Training Consortium," Angela Brown announced. The podcast noted firefighter Lucas Allen earned "top honors across the board," and firefighter Kyle Robinson received two standout awards.

The new hires will be visible on department apparatus in coming weeks and will be featured in the city's "Firefighter Friday" spotlight series on the Kirkland Fire social channels, the podcast said. No budget or personnel authorization items were discussed on the episode; the segment presented personnel news and community outreach details.

The announcement did not include assignment details, station locations, or collective‑bargaining impacts. For additional information about the graduates' assignments and departmental integration, the city advised contacting the Fire Department or monitoring its social media spotlights.
