Kevin Lundy
I am a professional first responder with over 30 years of experience in the fire and emergency medical services. I retired as the Deputy Chief of the Gulfport Fire Department in 2017 and took a position with the Mississippi Office of Homeland Security. Before getting promoted to Deputy Fire Chief I ran the fire and EMS training division for 170 career combat firefighters with the Gulfport Fire Department. I built and maintained a Moodle Learning Management Training website for our department and the Mississippi Office of Home Land Security. I developed the first certification and training credentialing process for the Mississippi Office of Homeland Security. Also, I wrote the statewide credentialing standard operating procedures (SOG) for The Mississippi Office of Homeland Security. I also teach nationwide as a contract instructor for the National Fire Academy out of Emmitsburg, MD. I have excellent computer skills, data management skill, and I am exceptionally proficient with Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and Outlook. I played a key role in implementing and writing the SOG’s for the electronic reporting of the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and Records Management System (RMS) with the Gulfport Fire Department. I am excellent at collecting data, extracting data from a database, and building pivot tables for budgeting and planning analysis.
I am currently employed with the Stennis Fire Department, which provides fire and EMS service to NASA’s second largest facility in the county.
