One of the most heartbreaking stories I’ve covered in my time in New England.
Lt. Menard was by all accounts a hero and an incredible father.
Set to take his kids to Disney World on the morning he passed away. Thinking of his family today.
Today, November 13, 2020, we remember and honor Lt. Jason Menard.
Lt. Menard, a true leader to his brothers and sisters at WFD. Time may pass, but the impact of his sacrifice lives on within our department and the community we serve.
