Fire Chief Jon Alberghini, Retired
April 8, 2025
Ken was appointed to the Kingston Fire Department at a time it was going thru a period of transition and expansion. He blended in perfectly and enthusiastically as more firefighters were added, stations and equipment upgraded and the emergency medical services expanded to include Advanced Life Support. While change does not always come easily for some, Ken became part of the "change agents" that made it a success.
Thank you for your service Brother. It was a great ride.
