Please join us in wishing retiring Fire Chief Bryan Van Gaver an amazing, well-deserved retirement. Chief Van Gaver served @SarniaFire and the citizens of @Sarnia_Ontario with passion for 37 years! Thank you for everything you have done for all of us. Happy retirement Chief.

Go Mo!

This afternoon, it is my sincere privilege to represent the @ONFireChiefs at the celebration of life for Fire Chief Warren Brinkman. Warren was a fierce advocate and it was my honour to serve alongside him on the OAFC Board for many years. Rest in peace my friend.

I am shocked and saddened to learn of Warren’s passing. Chief Brinkman was a friend and colleague whom I served alongside for many years on the @ONFireChiefs Board. I will forever miss his infectious sense of humour. Rest in peace my friend.

Congratulations Essex Fire Chief @RickArnel on your upcoming retirement. Thank you for your service and for your support & encouragement. @ONFireChiefs oafc.on.ca/about/announcemen…

Extending my heartfelt thanks to @LGLizDowdeswell for her many years of service, hard work and dedication to the people of this province as Ontario’s Lieutenant Governor. Best wishes to Edith Dumont as she assumes her new role as Ontario’s 30th Lieutenant Governor.

It is with a heavy heart that I have received notification that retired Dunnville Fire Chief and past FFAO executive member Wayne Nie passed away last night with his family at his side. Our thoughts are with Wayne's wife Marion and his family at this time.

Congratulations to Captain Tom Bonneau on his retirement after 33 YEARS of dedicated service with Essex Fire and Rescue! A true leader and an inspiring presence around the firehouse, we thank him for his service to the community and wish him all the very best. @EssexON_Fire
