Biographical Comments
Douglas Barbieto entered the Fire Service in 2003. He was assigned to Station 15 (Schofield Barracks) where he was mentored by some of the Federal Fire Department’s legendary Captains. Having already been a paramedic, Doug was eager to learn what it took to become a great Firefighter so he could one day become a legendary Captain himself. Doug, being the younger brother of a firefighter already in the family, was determined to rise through the ranks.

Someone who was never satisfied by past accomplishments, Doug pursued a career path on the fire side of the department. His skills and certifications promoted him to the rank of Lieutenant in 2015. Doug severed in the Hawaii Army National Guard where he held the rank of First Sergeant. There’s no doubt that Doug was born a leader! In 2022, his promotion to Captain became a reality. Doug had fulfilled another milestone in his Fire Service career.

One of his strengths was being a “voice of reason”. When we went left, Doug often turned right. He served as Union Secretary for many years helping to negotiate better working conditions for younger firefighters. His commitment to Cancer Presumptive Legislation often took him to Washington DC. He knew that this could be his most impactful contribution.

Doug leaves behind a wife and 4 sons.
