The department says 62-year-old Captain Mark Eads and his engineer were at a call to check for smoke in a building in the 800 block of Skyline Boulevard in Avenal.
While there, Eads reportedly suffered a medical emergency and was rushed to Coalinga Regional Medical Center where he passed away.
Over his 20-year tenure with the county, Eads was first hired as a Kings County Fire Apparatus Engineer in 2003. The department says he briefly left in 2004, but was rehired in early 2005.
Sixteen years later, in 2021, he was promoted to Fire Captain.
“Captain Eads was a dedicated firefighter who served the community with passion and commitment. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. Kings County is grateful for the years of service and dedication that Captain Eads provided to the department and the community.”
