The Lieutenant was named the 2020 Northern Virginia Regional Award winner for Outstanding Pre-Hospital Educator, according to a release from the Prince William County Fire and Rescue System.
“He gets it!” Chief Tim Keen said in a release. “Watching Lieutenant Kirk interact with the students, it is obvious that he has a passion for EMS and to pass his knowledge on to others. He is very deserving to be recognized by the NOVA EMS Council and we are proud of him!”
