We are saddened to learn of the sudden passing of past Deputy Chief (Ret.) William (Billy) Newell. Billy served faithfully with Havelock Fire from 2003 till his retirement in 2018 and worked his way through the ranks to Deputy Chief. He was always eager to learn and played a big part in training new members that came to HFD. He dedicated much of his time and effort to the fire department during his time served. We would like to send our heartfelt condolences to his wife Raette and his kids Trevor and Raeanne as well as the rest of his friends and family.

Today we remember a firefighter whose battle didn't end on the fireground. Occupational cancer has taken another firefighter way too soon. A reminder of the unseen dangers carried long after the call is over. Joel’s dedication, sacrifice, and service will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with Joel’s family, friends and the firefighters of Kentville and Hantsport fire departments. Rest easy Joel, your shift is over you’ve answered your final call, we will take it from here brother.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice, rest easy brother, we’ll take it from here.

“When I am called to duty God wherever flames may rage
grant me the strength to save a life whatever be its age

Help me to embrace a little child before it is too late
or save an older person from the horror of that fate

Enable me to be alert to hear the weakest shout
and quickly and efficiently put the fire out

I want to fill my calling Lord and give the best in me
to guard my every neighbor and protect his property

And if according to your will I am to lose my life
God bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife.”
