Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of HFD Fireman Christopher J. Boisvert.
May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. For his
unselfish dedication to Protect the citizens of his
community he is a hero
and will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Christopher.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

We salute you , My Friend
Final Inspection
The firefighter stood and faced God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining. Just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now,firefighter. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?" The firefighter squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't. Because those of us who carry a fire hose, Can't always be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was tough. And sometimes I've been violent, Because the world is awfully rough. But, I never took a penny, That wasn't mine to keep.... Though I worked a lot of overtime. When the bills just got too steep. And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God, forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place, Among the people here. They never wanted me around, Except to calm their fears. If you've a place for me here, Lord. It needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don’t, I’ll understand. There was a silence all around the throne, Where the saints had often trod. As the firefighter waited quietly, For the judgment of his God. "Step forward now,firefighter you’ve borne your burdens well. Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets; you’ve done your time in Hell."
