On the morning of July 10th, the Professional Firefighters of Keene IAFF Local 3265 bid farewell to FF/AEMT Sam Eaton as he completed his final shift with the Keene Fire Department.

Eaton’s departure marks the end of a dedicated chapter in Keene, where he served with skill, grit, and compassion. His next mission takes him south to join the ranks of the Charleston Fire Department in South Carolina — a challenge we know he’ll meet head-on.

From the fireground to the medic unit, Sam earned the respect of his crew and the gratitude of the community. Though we’re sad to see him leave, we’re proud to watch him take the next step in his career.

Safe travels, brother — and remember, the door is always open here in Keene.
