Kentwood swears in three new firefighters
Summary
Kentwood swore in three new firefighters — Matthew, Caleb Wardlow and Melvin Fabian — and celebrated new hires as part of continuing recruitment and departmental growth.
The Kentwood City Commission swore in three newly hired firefighters during its Nov. 18 meeting, a ceremonial step officials said reflects ongoing recruitment and staffing efforts.
The commission and staff introduced Matthew (listed in introductory remarks as Matthew Conrad and sworn as Matthew Cameron), Caleb Wardlow and Melvin Fabian and briefly summarized each recruit’s background, training and local ties. The clerk administered the oath of office to each firefighter, and family members joined them for photographs in the hall.
Officials praised the department for expanding its roster and encouraged the new firefighters as they begin field training. The mayor and commissioners thanked families for attending and acknowledged the department’s role in public safety.
