The most recent show of STATION 19 had a touching title card tribute to the late Jim “JK” Koenekamp. If you saw the dedication at the end of the show and were curious about what JK had to do with it, read on.
JK, or Jim Koenekamp, was a very important person behind the scenes of STATION 19. His business, Fire In Motion, provided the show with realistic firefighting vehicles, such as fire trucks and ambulances, which was important for making the first responders seem real. Because JK worked so hard at his job, every scene with emergency cars felt real and believable.

JK was more than just a supplier; he was a beloved part of the STATION 19 team. His help went beyond the technical parts of the show. Jason George, a cast member, talked about how helpful JK was during the SAG-AFTRA strike, showing how much he cared about the crew’s health and the success of the show. One important thing he did was take care of the 19 fire truck, which has become a famous part of the show for fans.
In STATION 19 Season 7 Episode 9, the salute to JK is a touching reminder of the real people who make TV magic possible. Even though the show is made up, people like JK’s knowledge and hard work make it seem real. His work made sure that the show’s picture of firefighting was as true to life as possible, which made it very moving for viewers.
When JK died in April, it was a big loss for everyone at STATION 19. The touching title card tribute is a way for the cast and team to honor his memory and show how much he meant to them. This serves as a reminder of how hard and with much love each show is made.
We’re very sorry for JK’s family and friends’ loss. We will always remember him through the realistic scenes he helped make and in the hearts of those who worked with him.
