It is with great sadness to learn that Chris Francescone passed away peacefully. Although that sadness is replaced with love in my heart for him and his entire family. Rest in peace Chris. I love you brother.

I am sorry to hear this Chris. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
I lost a great woman this morning. She fought a Brave battle but joins her husband in a much better place. I love you Mom.
It was an honour to work with Jack. His son Jason follows in Jack’s footsteps, continuing with aggressive fire fighting for the community
Today we remember our brother FF. Jack Beuving lost in the line of duty. Gone but not forgotten.

Fire Fighters will always stand for public safety. I wish consultants and bureaucrats did the same.

Sad to see OAFC’s position. All career fire fighters should question their Chief on their respective position @opffa
Disappointed in the OAFC. I can understand rural Chiefs applauding the 2-hatter issue but urban Chiefs now face a higher WSIB liability. And for the arb issue I can’t believe you support an issue to negatively impact your own ff’s working conditions. Shame.
Honoured to being part of the Remembrance Day celebrations in Ottawa. Less we forget @opffa
