Building Cincinnati: Dr. Frank C. McKinley

To celebrate Black Men's Appreciation Month, we are highlighting men who strengthen our community every day.

Today, we recognize Dr. Frank C. McKinley, Fire Chief of the Cincinnati Fire Department.

Since becoming Cincinnati's Fire Chief in 2023, Dr. McKinley has led one of the region's most critical public safety organizations with a focus on innovation, operational excellence, and community service. His leadership reflects a commitment to ensuring the department is prepared to meet today's challenges while building for the future.

Before coming to Cincinnati, McKinley served 28 years with Dallas Fire-Rescue, rising to the rank of Assistant Fire Chief. Throughout his career, he gained extensive experience in emergency operations, emergency medical services, communications, training, and administration, while helping modernize public safety through technology, recruitment, and organizational innovation.

A lifelong learner, McKinley earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from Delta State University, a Master of Professional Studies in Emergency and Disaster Management from Georgetown University, and a Doctor of Education in Higher Education Policy and Leadership from Southern Methodist University. He has also shared his expertise as an educator, helping prepare the next generation of emergency services professionals.

Whether leading firefighters, mentoring future public safety leaders, or strengthening emergency response systems, Dr. McKinley continues to advance a culture of excellence that benefits the entire Cincinnati community.

Thank you, Dr. Frank C. McKinley, for helping build Cincinnati through leadership, innovation, and public safety.
