Kevin Ramsey

Firefighter Ramsey was a member of the Detroit Fire Department. He was stationed with Tactical Mobile Squad 3. He had 20 years of service. 

During the morning and during the afternoon of July 29, 2017, Kevin and his comrades fought two structural fires. After returning to the firehouse, Kevin stated that he felt nauseated and had chest pains. Advanced medical responders administered to Kevin and he was then rushed to a local hospital. 

Tragically, later that day, Kevin passed away due to a heart attack caused by stress and over-exertion. 

Kevin had been an EMS medic before becoming a firefighter.
