Welland Fire and Emergency Services is saddened as we lower our flags today to half mast in honor of the passing of retired firefighter Bob Beres. He will be missed.

Qualities of a paramedic: Compassion, empathy, intelligence, resilience, mental strength, physical strength and professionalism to name a few. It takes a special person to bring order to chaos. #HonkAndWave to say thanks during #ParamedicServicesWeek Thank you for your service.
