Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Kuenzli Family and the members of the Bladensburg Fire Department in the passing of Chief Randy Kuenzli. Chief Kuenzli was a well respected fire officer, brother, and friend to many of Lafayettes Members. “Back in the day” many of Lafayettes members traveled to the Bladensburg Fire Department to “ride along” and gain experience in the busy department that Kuenzli ran. Many aspiring fire officers looked up to Chief Kuenzli for experience, guidance, and expertise. You will certainly be missed, Chief.
