Thinking of our brothers and sisters in Headingley/Winnipeg today, and the family of Chief John Sparham. Thank you for your service Chief
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our Fire Chief John Sparham.
Our department is grieving the loss of a respected leader, mentor, and friend who dedicated himself to serving our community through both our volunteer fire department and the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service.
We extend our deepest condolences to Chief Sparham’s family, friends, crews, and colleagues during this difficult time. We ask that you keep them, and our department members, in your thoughts as we mourn this tremendous loss.
Chief Sparham’s service and dedication will not be forgotten.
Information regarding memorial and funeral arrangements will be shared as it becomes available and with the family’s consent.
