OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Omaha police are investigating the death of Ralston’s fire chief, but they say it appears Kyle Ienn committed suicide Tuesday.
Ienn’s body was found hanging from a bridge in an Omaha park Tuesday morning. A fire department vehicle was parked nearby.
The 40-year-old Ienn had been Ralston’s fire chief since 2000, and he had served on the board of the National Council on Fireworks Safety.
Ienn was a 22-year veteran of the volunteer Ralston fire department in the Omaha suburbs. He also managed an Ace Hardware store in Omaha for the past two decades.
Ienn was married with three children.
