KFR, together with family and friends, is mourning the loss of our brother, Captain Brian Lannon.
On Saturday, May 15th, Brian was in Kelowna on his off-duty time, recreationally SCUBA diving with friends near the W.R. Bennett bridge... 1/4
Along with fires, medical aids, auto extrications, water rescues and hazmat calls @NanaimoFire@IAFF905 firefighters support our community with the ability to execute tower crane rescues 😳🙌
Now that @VCHhealthcare has moved to provide vaccines for 1st responders, @PortMoodyFR@PortMoodyPD staff awaits @Fraserhealth to move on providing this much-needed protection for our staff. We work hard to keep our staff safe but an outbreak would decimate our ability to respond
It’s #NationalVolunteerWeek and firefighters from @VanFireRescue@IAFF18#VanFireCharity donate thousands of hours to helping out their community.
Too many to list
Thank you all for making a difference!
FF McEachern was recognized for his leadership as our 2020 FF of the year
Congrats to our newest Deputy Chief Jodi Le Masurier 🎆 This is a well deserved accomplishment and our team is looking forward to Jodi's leadership in her new position! @cityofnanaimo@IAFF905@JodiLeMasurier@Karen_Fry
I also worry about the increase in Covid community transmission and the risk to our Firefighters and Police on the frontline!
An outbreak in our department would be disastrous!
I hope all First Responders are prioritized soon!
Please 🙏

Saanich Firefighters were busy freeing a trapped Walmart worker this afternoon. A car driving into a building is not a particularly rare occurrence...

Great work by D crew. Another save of a four legged friend at the Abyss in south Nanaimo. Remember to keep your pet close to you while hiking in this area.
