Local Firefighters Attending Parade For Fallen Comrades

Wayne Thorburne

At least three local firefighters are heading to Halifax this weekend for a special ceremony. Bridgewater Fire Chief Wayne Thorburne, Deputy Michael Nauss and firefighter Harry Whitman will take part in a memorial service and parade Sunday to honour fallen firefighters. Its the first time an event like this has happened. Thorburne says its important to show respect to those who lost their lives in the line of duty. The parade is expected to close down some Halifax streets.
