  • LODD: Captain Ivan LaGrand
    Updated On: Dec 06, 2021

    With great sadness, the Cape Girardeau Fire Department and IAFF Local 1084 announce the death of our friend and family member, Captain Ivan LaGrand. Ivan passed Wednesday evening, December 1, 2021, after a brief battle with COVID-19.
     
    Ivan has served our community since August 1996, and was looking forward to retirement in about a year. His humor and care for his brothers and sisters in public safety will be greatly missed.

    Captain Ivan LaGrand was a public servant for his entire adult life. Captain LaGrand started his career in emergency medical services with North Scott Ambulance District and worked as a full-time paramedic from 1987 until his hire at Cape Girardeau Fire Dept. in 1996. He continued as a part-time employee with North Scott Ambulance District until 2005. He Joined NBC Fire Protection District in 1990. Rising through the ranks, he retired as Chief of the District in 2012. Captain LaGrand continued on with his public service life and became a DPS officer with SEMO University from 2001-2011. Captain LaGrand also played a pivotal role in educating young minds to become emergency medical technicians as an instructor for the Career and Technology Center here in Cape Girardeau. Captain LaGrand also assisted with teaching Firefighter 1 and 2 classes and CPR Classes at Cape Girardeau Fire Department until his passing. Ivan was also a founding member of Seniors and Firefighters Engaged (S.A.F.E.) that assisted in promoting fire safety within our senior community.  He served as a Reserve Deputy and Emergency Dispatcher for the Bollinger County Sheriff’s Department. Ivan was a member of the Fire Marshals Association of Missouri and the Jefferson County Fire Marshals Association.
