 It is with great sadness that Whitby Fire and Emergency Services advises that Captain Michael (Mike) Hutchings passed away after a courageous battle with cancer on Friday, February 5, 2010. Mike joined WFES on May 22, 1980 as a Volunteer Firefighter and on October 1, 1984 Mike was hired as a Probationary Dispatcher. Mike moved to Fire Suppression on March 16, 1987 and became a Captain on January 7, 2002, a position he held until his death. Mike had an extreme passion for apparatus and equipment and much of the equipment we have in our Department today is a direct result of Mike's tireless research and efforts. For Mike, it was all about "getting the best for the Staff "! Mike is the first active member of our Department to have passed away, and I know this is a difficult situation for all of us. We all know that a firefighter has two homes. One is with his family and the other is with the crew in which he/she works with. We have lost a member of our family, and because of this we will all grieve. Mike was just eleven (11) months away from retirement. It just doesn't seem fair. Mike will be missed but he will not be forgotten. We are all better off because of our association and friendship with him. Mike is survived by his wife Leslie, and children Julie, Callie, Parker, Logan and Abigail. God Speed, and peace be with you Mike.
