Salem firefighter goes viral after serenading passing bachelorette party

Firefighter Kenny Tejeda went viral after serenading a bachelorette party outside the Salem fire station on Saturday. The group of women from North Carolina initially walked past but returned to request a song. Tejeda's coworkers pointed him out, knowing his singing talent, and he performed Mario’s 2004 hit "Let Me Love You," leading to an impromptu sing-along. Tejeda described the experience as random yet enjoyable, stating it allowed him to create a memorable moment for the bride-to-be. He humorously shared a video of the serenade on Facebook, offering his services for various events.

This event showcases the community engagement of local firefighters and their willingness to connect with residents. Such interactions not only entertain but also foster a sense of camaraderie within the community. Firefighters often participate in events beyond their duties, enhancing their role as community figures.
