North joined the department in 1998, and was a leader in the department for many years, the Fire Department said.
He also worked for the Cambridge School District for many years, which the department said made him “invaluable” during incidents and trainings at local schools.
North was a former driver for the Cambridge Area Emergency Medical Service as well, and was involved with the Jefferson County Firefighters and Chief’s Association.
“You will be missed tremendously, Randy,” the department said. “We will take it from here.”
Funeral arrangements were pending.
