Kevin Lee Brehm, 60, of East Berlin, died on Thursday, April 9, 2026, after suffering a medical event while on duty as an EMT with the Dover Area Ambulance Club in Dover Borough.
Brehm, who worked as an EMT with the club, gave 42 years of service with local volunteer fire departments, including Northeast Adams Fire & EMS, where he had formerly served in multiple roles, including as Deputy Chief.
A funeral for Brehm will be at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 15, at the East Berlin Borough station of Northeast Adams Fire & EMS, 101 East Locust Street, according to the fire company.
Prior to the funeral, a viewing will be held at the Feiser Funeral Home on Harrisburg Street in East Berlin from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., the fire company said.
Following the viewing, fire departments will hold a short procession from the funeral home to the East Berlin fire station, the release shared, with a request for any available personnel to line Locust Street near the fire station at that time.
