When asked what advice he might give to anyone considering a career in firefighting, he reiterated the importance of higher education.
“Get your college degree; I can’t emphasize that enough,” Kennett said. “Education truly is the key to a successful career. Maintain a good work ethic, clean personal record, and a ‘can-do’ mindset. Sure, there will be challenges and obstacles along the way, but a positive attitude and the ability to meet and overcome those challenges will lead to accomplishments.”
