Fairhaven Fire-EMS to honor Chief Timothy Francis with “last day” ceremony and parade

“The traditional ‘last day’ ceremonies honoring Chief Timothy Francis have been radically altered due to Covid-19 restrictions.

However, we would be remiss if we did not honor his 42 years of service to our town. Therefore, members of the Fairhaven Fire/EMS department, along with other agencies, will be conducting a parade to take the Chief home for his final ride as Department Chief.

Please do not be alarmed if you hear a lot of sirens and see many emergency vehicles with their lights on between 1 PM and 2 PM on Friday, January 8th.

The parade will begin at the Fairhaven Fire Station and turn right onto Washington st. From there it will tour the center of town. There will be a brief ceremony at the town hall, practicing socially distant measures. From there, the parade will proceed towards north Fairhaven, where the Chief will be delivered to his drop off point.”
