It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of retiree Captain Blaine Stevenson, a cherished member of our Edmonton Fire Rescue Services family.

Captain Stevenson dedicated 20 years of service to the people of Edmonton, beginning his career in 1997 working in dispatch and retiring in 2017 working in Fire Prevention.

Blaine will be deeply missed by so many — his family, colleagues, friends, and all who knew him.

In accordance with Blaine’s wishes, there will be no funeral services. If you are able, please take a brief moment to think of Blaine, whether in quiet reflection or in sharing a kind thought of him.
