It is with deep regret that the Nederland Fire Protection District must announce the death of LT Kenneth Kehoe on Wednesday August 13, 2025. 

Ken had been a volunteer member of the department since August 5, 2013, he was a lieutenant, mentor and friend and will truly be missed by all that knew him.  Ken was the calm, composed and balanced member of the department and his presence on an incident could instantly bring order into an otherwise chaotic situation. 

Although Ken’s death was not in the line-of-duty, the fire department will be honoring him posthumously during funeral services which the family will announce at a later time. 

The department appreciates the outpouring of sympathy and support it has received from neighboring agencies and asks that the privacy of both members of the department and the family are respected at this time.
