October is Fire Prevention Month, a reminder of the importance of fire safety, community, and vigilance. For Isaac<\/span>, a spray foam installer at Kinzler Construction Services since November 2021, service has taken on a new meaning. In addition to his work at Kinzler, where he\u2019s gained experience in nearly every insulation department, Isaac<\/span> decided to take on a different kind of challenge –\u00a0one that could save lives. He is training to become a volunteer firefighter and EMT for the Hiawatha Fire Department.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inspiration for my decision came one day while watching a TV show about firefighting,\u201d Isaac<\/span> explained.<\/p>\n

What began as a spark of curiosity quickly became a desire to help his community. \u201cI decided to become a firefighter because I think it’s a good way to stay humble and a reminder that we are all human and should help people,\u201d Isaac<\/span> says.<\/p>\n

His dedication to learning new skills at Kinzler translated well to this new endeavor as he follows\u00a0in the footsteps of Kevin Kinzler, the founder of Kinzler Construction Services, who was also a\u00a0firefighter. Three of Isaac<\/span>‘s Cedar Rapids Kinzler coworkers also serve as volunteer firefighters – Lane Williams, Shae Caven, and Brent Rozanski. They all demonstrate\u00a0a Servant Heart, a Kinzler core value that recognizes the commitment to helping others.<\/p>\n

Isaac<\/span> finds immense satisfaction in his journey, “What I enjoy most about becoming a volunteer firefighter is the sense of purpose and self-worth I receive. I could be doing anything with my time right now at this stage in my life, but I decided to volunteer and serve my community.”<\/p>\n

Isaac<\/span>‘s dedication is very clear. He volunteers long hours on weekends responding to emergencies.\u00a0Then on Monday mornings he heads back to work at Kinzler. It\u2019s a demanding schedule that demonstrates his commitment.<\/p>\n

When asked for the best fire safety advice he could offer, Isaac<\/span> replied, \u201cBe aware of devices that supply heat via electricity and shut the door when you sleep which can slow the spread of fire and provide precious time to escape in the event of a fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

During Fire Prevention Month, let\u2019s take a cue from Isaac<\/span>\u2014stay safe, stay aware, and find ways to give back to our communities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
