Tell me something GOOD! 💚 The Kern County Fire Department has a brand new look thanks to one of their amazing employees! 🎨 KCFD’s training tower now features a stunning mural, thanks to the incredible talent of Katelyn Hinkle! Katelyn is a Fiscal Support Technician for KCFD. She says, “This artwork honors the dedication, leadership, and commitment of Deputy Chief Kain Linville, capturing the essence of training and bravery in the fire service. It’s a powerful reminder of the values we hold dear and the standards our department strives for every day.” 👩🏻🎨 We are SO proud of how this art represents our local heroes and the entire firefighting community who work tirelessly to keep us safe. Thank you, Katelyn, for leaving a lasting impact on the Kern County Fire Department! 🔥🚒😊
