\"\"While firefighter\/paramedic Kyle Chadwell might not have officially joined the O\u2019Fallon Fire Protection District until May 2019, he says he\u2019s had the opportunity to get to know the crew through ride-alongs and at various community outreach events before becoming an official member of the team.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always felt very welcomed here,\u201d Chadwell says. \u201cFrom my first experience with OFPD, I really felt like I was already one of the guys and I knew it was where I wanted to spend my career.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Chadwell became a paramedic in 2012, before going on to graduate from the St. Louis County Fire Academy with his Firefighter I and II certifications. He also holds Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, Prehospital Trauma Life Support and Hazmat Awareness & Operations certifications.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to become a firefighter\/paramedic to help people in their time of need,\u201d Chadwell says. \u201cEvery day you have the opportunity to make a positive impact on someone\u2019s life, and those are the calls that really stand out to me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He calls one positive call in particular: \u201cWe arrived on scene to find a woman in labor, having contractions while sitting in the front seat of her car. Within a few minutes of being there, I delivered a healthy baby boy right there in the car. It was awesome to be involved in such an exciting moment in that family’s life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Chadwell admits he\u2019s a bit of a thrill seeker \u2014 he even went skydiving on his 21st birthday \u2014 and says another aspect of the fire service he loves is that it changes every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you show up, you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re going to do that day,\u201d he says. \u201cEvery rotation is different and no two calls are the same. It forces you to continue your education and train for any situation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When off duty, Chadwell enjoys spending time outdoors with family and friends. He and his wife, Meagan \u2014 who met in the sixth grade \u2014 live in O\u2019Fallon with their two sons, Carson and Cole.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
