Captain Daniel M. “Danny” Coughlin is highly deserving and has diligently prepared himself for this promotion over the course of 20 years with the Goochland County Department of Fire-Rescue & Emergency Services. Danny began his fire service career in 2006 as a volunteer with Manakin Company 1. He worked for Lifeline Ambulance Service assigned to Goochland as an EMS provider.

He has successfully led and managed three full firefighter recruit academies and several pre-certified recruit schools, achieving a 100% certification pass rate across all programs. He continues to teach EMT classes in Goochland County, manages EMS orientation, and coordinates all American Heart Association CPR programs for the department.
