Keith Eaton: Mayor

Keith Eaton’s distinguished career in public service began in Illinois, where he joined the Cooks Mills Fire District in 1985. Over 14 years, he served in various capacities across two volunteer fire districts and worked full-time as an Airport Rescue Firefighter for the Coles County Memorial Airport. In addition to his fire service, Keith contributed to his family’s construction business, working alongside his father and brother.

  

In 1999, Keith relocated to Arizona, where he worked as a contractor for a large restaurant chain, managing building projects across Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho, and California. In 2001, Keith settled in Kingman, Arizona, where he rejoined the fire service, eventually rising to the position of Assistant Fire Chief of the Kingman Fire Department. His work spanned operations, fire prevention, and community development, with fire prevention becoming a particular passion. Keith later served as the Community Development Director and Fire Marshal for the Town of Florence, Arizona, before retiring from government service.

  

After retiring, Keith and his wife, Aline Parker-Eaton, founded Northern Arizona Inspection Services, LLC, where Keith serves as a Senior Consultant. He also continues to contribute to public safety as a Liaison for the Central West Zone Type 3 Emergency Management Team and the Rocky Mountain CIM Team 1, both of which focus on wildfire management.

  

Keith holds an associate’s degree in Fire Service Operations and a Bachelor’s degree in Emergency Management/Public Safety Administration from Grand Canyon University. His involvement in Arizona’s fire service community remains strong, having held executive board positions with the Arizona Fire Chiefs Association, Arizona Fire Marshal’s Association, Mohave County Fire Officers Association, and serving as the charter President of the Western Arizona Fire Marshal’s Association. He is also a CFAI accreditation evaluator and instructor for the Arizona Center for Fire Service Excellence. Among his certifications, Keith is an ICC Certified Building Official, Fire Marshal, Fire Inspector, Fire Plans Examiner, and CPSE Chief Fire Officer.

  

Keith and Aline met in Kingman and married in 2003, blending their family of five children. Today, they enjoy spending time with their 10 grandchildren. Keith’s hobbies include hiking, boating, UTV riding, and enjoying the outdoors.
