Statement on the Passing of Firefighter Jared Burns

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Firefighter Jared Burns, a valued member of the Essex Fire and Rescue team.

In addition to his role as a loving husband and father, Jared dedicated his time to serve our community as a Firefighter at Station 3 in Harrow. Since his recruitment in 2021, Jared demonstrated his passion and dedication to protecting the lives of residents. 

“On behalf of Essex Fire and Rescue Services, I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Jared Burns” said Jason Pillon, Fire Chief. “Jared was a dedicated member of the team who demonstrated strength and bravery to serve our community. He will be deeply missed.”

Jared will forever be remembered for his strength, dedication, and bravery.

Essex Fire and Rescue Services will honour the life of Jared with a Firefighter Walkthrough during the Thursday evening visitation, and a funeral procession which will pass by Fire Station 3 on their way to the mass at St. Anthony’s church on Friday morning.
