Story

Gord joined the Winnipeg Fire Department in 1976, dedicating 30 years of service and retiring as a Captain on April 30, 2006. Firefighting was not just his career, it was his true calling; fueling countless stories that leave a legacy. Among his many achievements, he made history as the first to rappel down the TD building as the High-Angle Response Team Leader. Yet, no single fire or emergency stood out above another in importance—it was his passion and dedication that defined him. Gord was always eager to be the first one in.
