It is with deep regret and overwhelming sadness that we report the loss and passing of our beloved Captain Chris Bruinink. 

With his family by his side, Captain Bruinink peacefully and finally rested after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

Our worst year in decades – 133 fire-related fatalities in 2022. Every one of these fatalities was someone’s loved one; you’re someone’s loved one. Don’t be a statistic; take #FireSafety seriously! Only working #SmokeAlarms save lives. Plan and practice a #HomeEscapePlan.

Early yesterday morning London Fire Crews attended a very serious fire that could have had catastrophic results. Because of quick action by way of a coordinated fire attack there was no injuries and damage was minimized because of closed doors. #closebeforeyoudoze
