Lemay Fire Protection District

The Lemay Fire Protection District covers approximately 4.5 square miles of unincorporated St. Louis County and the City of Bella Villa with a population of about 17,000.

The Lemay Fire Protection District's Spotlight Firefighter for the month of July is Lieutenant Medical Officer Jeremy Bohm.  Jeremy began his career in the fire service 16 years ago at the Boone County Fire District as a live-in resident.  When he moved to St. Louis he joined the Affton Fire Protection District as a reserve firefighter, and was hired on at Richmond Heights Fire Department.  Jeremy started at the LFPD over 6 years ago and was just recently promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Medical Officer.  Becoming medical officer, Jeremy states, "is a great honor," and "gives him an opportunity to represent the district and the citizens in the best way possible."  Between emergencies, Jeremy's day is spent handling the administration side of EMS which can be very rewarding. 

Jeremy loves his career, stating "being a firefighter paramedic is the best job in the world, I get to take part in meaningful training and I get to help out the community." His favorite part about working at Lemay is the family atmosphere.  "We can joke with each other one minute and become completely serious to get the job done the next, with no complaints, I work with a great group that are down to earth. In the future Jeremy aspires to be promoted to the rank of captain, and remain a leader in helping to make the district and his fellow employees better.  

On his days off Jeremy likes to spend time boating, swimming, fishing, and staying active outdoors with his loving wife of 9 years Becky and their three daughters. Check back in August for the Lemay Fire District's Spotlight Firefighter of the Month.
