Captain MacCormack remembered for his dedication to educating next generation of firefighters

The Paris Firefighter’s Club and County of Brant Fire Department is mourning the loss of another longtime volunteer – Micheal ‘Mac’ MacCormack.

News of Mac’s passing comes just weeks after the Department bid farewell to another longtime fire fighter, Rick Shannon

Mac left the Paris station back in 2012 with over 26 years of service to the community, but Mac never truly left the fire service After his time with Paris Station, he continued in his roles at Conestoga College in the firefighter preservice program, and with the County of Brant training committee, helping to educate future generations of firefighters.

After his retirement, Mac continued to be an active member marching in parades, attending events, and supporting the Paris Firefighters

Club. Mac had a passion for training that was second to none He wanted to insure all his firefighters had the skills and expertise to do the job and make it home safe! His knowledge and dedication will surely be missed

Outside his firefighting duties, you could always find him sitting in front of his wood stove in the shed with the doors open watching a ball game. He loved the outdoors, camping, fishing and canoeing and he was usually the camp cook. He found great joy in taking his grandsons on fishing excursions and spending time with them He was a beloved husband to Cindy for 47 years, loving dad to Christa (Kris) and the late Michael (1994), as well as devoted grandpa to Hudson and Korson.

If Captain MacCromack touched your life in one way or another, the family has asked for donations to be made to the Cancer Society or the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 29 (Paris). RIP Capt. Mac.
