The August Spotlight Firefighter of the Month is Private Keith Pfeifer. Keith started his career with the Lemay Fire District in January of 2006, but his passion for firefighting and EMS started long befire he joined the LFPD. As a child Keith witnessed a serious vehicle accident, and felt that he did not know how to properly help the injured.  From then on he knew he wanted to be a first responder within the south county area.  Growing up in Affton and attending St. George Catholic School before attending high school at Vianney, Keith knew working at Lemay would be a great opportunity.  After high school he started working towards his dream of being a firefighter paramedic, and in 1998 he graduated from the fire academy and paramedic school. Working at St. Louis City Fire Department and Gateway Ambulance, Keith was then hired on at the LFPD. On his off time he likes to travel to the mountains to snowboard, or relax on the beach with his longtime girlfriend Bobbi Farmer. Closer to home Keith likes to fish the clear spring fed rivers of southern Missouri. If working and traveling weren't enough Keith and his brother Jeff own and operate a real estate company which manages multiple homes in and around St. Louis.
