Lakeville welcomes three new firefighters

LAKEVILLE — Paul “PJ” Machunski, Brock DuVarney, and Ryan Palmieri are the three newest faces at the Lakeville Fire Station, according to the Lakeville Fire Department. The three new firefighters were hired after the Lakeville Select Board authorized the Lakeville Fire Department to use federal funds to increase firefighter staffing to respond to increased demand.

Machunski is a Lakeville resident in addition to being an emergency medical technician. DuVarney is a paramedic.

Palmieri has a bachelors degree in fire science and more than 12 years worth of experience as an emergency medical technician.
