It is with deep sorrow that the Phoenicia Fire District honors the life and service of Michael “Mike” Ryan, who passed away in the line of duty while responding to an injured hiker in Shandaken.

Mike dedicated 45 years of his life to the fire service. He served our community as an active firefighter for decades and most recently as a member of the Phoenicia Fire District Board of Commissioners. His commitment to public service never wavered.

Beyond Phoenicia, Mike devoted his life to protecting and training others. He served 25 years with the Kingston Police Department, rising to Team Leader within the Emergency Services Unit, and played a critical role in tactical operations and regional training. He was a proud member of KPD’s Honor Guard, a veteran of the United States Air Force, and continued serving as a police trainer even after retirement.

Mike held himself to the highest standards of service, leadership, and integrity. He mentored countless firefighters and officers, shaped training programs across the region, and led by example in every role he held.

His loss is felt deeply by our department, our community, and all who had the privilege of serving alongside him.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Mike’s family, friends, and colleagues. His legacy of service will not be forgotten.

Rest easy, Mike. We'll take it from here.

Tonight, members of the Phoenicia, Big Indian, and Pine Hill Fire Departments trained on the proper deployment and use of ladders, forcible entry on our new training door prop, and interior searches in a heavy smoke, low-light environment. If any of this sounds exciting to you, join up or stop by on a Wednesday night to meet the guys and gals who want to protect our community. Great job, everyone!!
