PEMBROKE PINES, FLA. (WSVN) - Family, friends and colleagues said their final farewell to a fallen firefighter.
A procession was held to honor the life of Pembroke Pines firefighter Kevin Mehaffey, who died last Friday in a bad car crash.
Mehaffey’s casket was carried on a fire truck and draped in an American flag, as multiple South Florida fire rescue agencies lined up along Pines Boulevard to salute him.
Mehaffey joined Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue in 2015, climbing the ranks from paramedic to driver/engineer.
He also became the youngest firefighter to receive the Medal of Valor award in 2018.
Mehaffey was 31.
His fiancé is due to have their first child in August.
