It’s the first Monday in June, and we’re excited to introduce Firefighter Kiana Dupre as this month’s feature. Dupre joined the Clayton Fire Department six months ago and is already making her mark as part of the team.
Originally from upstate New York, Dupre has lived in the South since 2017. She says she was drawn to the department for its forward-thinking approach, supportive culture, and opportunities to grow as a firefighter.
On a typical day, Dupre focuses on keeping equipment safe and operational, preparing for emergency responses, completing daily station chores, and participating in ongoing training. “A lot of our time is spent planning, training, and keeping each other motivated,” says Dupre. “It’s really about creating a strong, family-like atmosphere here at the station.”
Dupre’s dedication and perseverance extend beyond the station. Through hard work and commitment to her personal goals, she has transformed her lifestyle and fitness, a determination she brings to every call and training exercise at the department.
Outside of work, Dupre enjoys time with her fiancée, caring for her two cats (Hank and Bean), staying active at the gym, fishing, and exploring the outdoors. She is also planning her upcoming wedding and recently moved into a new house.
We’re thrilled to have Kiana Dupre as part of the Clayton Fire Department and look forward to seeing the impact she’ll continue to make on the department and the community.
