Timeline photosWe’d like to introduce you to Apparatus Operator Kirk Stempel, who is joining Clackamas Fire from Gladstone Fire. He began his fire service career in Black Diamond, WA in 1985 and fell in love with it.

After relocating to Oregon in the 90s, Kirk joined Gresham Fire as a volunteer. He was hired on by Gladstone Fire in 2005 and made his way through the ranks. Throughout much of his time with Gladstone, he was heavily involved in their technical rescue, rope, dive, and water rescue programs. After 17 years with Gladstone and through the contract for service with The City of Gladstone, Kirk is now a part of the Clackamas Fire family.

When he’s not at work, he enjoys spending time with his family and outdoor activities. He splits his time between Gladstone and Sunriver, and enjoys skiing, scuba diving, rock climbing, and mountain biking.

We’re grateful to have him as our newest family member. Welcome aboard, Kirk! ... See MoreSee Less
