Kevin DeVries is a second generation firefighter who was influenced early on by his father and uncle, who were both career firefighters for a time. Kevin was another one who was hired during the corporation days and saw the department evolve into being run by the county. Along the way, he worked in Bethesda, Takoma Park and Silver Spring, running "a couple fires along the way," as he put it.
Kevin never hesitated to tell you exactly what was on his mind, and that could either motivate you or piss you off. By and large that worked to his advantage, and he influenced a lot of people along the way, ultimately retiring as a Captain from station 16. Two of his sons followed in his footsteps, and they are both still on the job to this day.
Kevin doesn't do social media, but he can be reached at 301-325-9649.
