MILLERSBURG As a child growing up in the Holmesville area, Kyle Yoder often used to accompany his father to the firehouse in Prairie Township, where his father served as chief.
So it is little wonder, once Yoder graduated from Waynedale High School in 1995, he wanted to become a firefighter. I guess you can say, it was in my blood, he said. It was something I always wanted to do as a career.
Yoder dove in the deep end, working for two fire departments. He joined the Prairie Township Fire Department in 1995 and served there until 2017. He also served on Holmes Fire District No. 1.
