[RescueKujo 130]

The Newport Beach Fire Department is saddened to announce the loss of one of its own.

Firefighter Kevin Pryor passed away Tuesday, June 17 due to a massive inter-cerebral hemorrhage. He was thirty-one years old. Kevin Pryor began his career with the Newport Beach Fire Department in 2005 and served as a dedicated firefighter for the department.

FF Pryor had returned on Sunday (June 15th) from a Strike Team assignment to the Northern California fires. He was found at home by a friend on Monday, and rushed to the hospital. He was placed on life support and passed at 0700 PDT Tuesday morning. In keeping with Kevin's wishes, the Pryor family donated his organs to an organ procurement program. Kevin will live on as his heart, both lungs, both kidneys, liver and pancreas were used to sustain another's life.

Memorial Services will be this week in the Westlake Village community of Los Angeles County.
