Villa Park firefighter/paramedic Skyler Everson was recently sworn in as a permanent member of the Villa Park Fire Department after completing his probationary period. Everson graduated from the University of Missouri and worked as an ER tech before coming to Villa Park.
“His humor, positive attitude, and willingness to help have made him the face of our department, starring in many of our social media videos,” stated the Village of Villa Park in its Oct. 29 announcement noting Everson’s new status with the fire department. “Skyler brings the one trait we can’t teach: the desire to be here. Today he affirmed his oath to the residents of Villa Park and earned the honor of wearing our badge, a symbol of courage, honor, and commitment to our department and the community we serve.”
