Behind the Helmet:
David Purley, 28, realized his childhood firefighting dream at Kinloch Fire in October 2022. As he masters the driver role, maintaining engines and tools, his St. Louis County Fire Academy background shines. Valuing community service, he faces the challenge of continuous learning. Beyond firefighting, his passions include weightlifting, basketball, bowling, and ziplining. Living by the motto “Live life to the fullest,” he embodies dedication both in and outside the fire service.
Thank you David Purley for your dedication and service!
