We can’t wait to see you all — Merry Christmas from the Coledale Fire & Rescue crew ❤️🔥

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our Captain and dear friend, Captain Johnny Morrison of Coledale Fire Station (Station 258).

Johnny passed away last week, surrounded by his wife Sarah, their daughter Izzie, and his family. In his final act of generosity and courage, Johnny gave the gift of life as an organ donor — a true reflection of the person he was.

Johnny served his community with unwavering dedication, integrity and pride. As Captain of 258, he led by example — steady, humble, and always putting his crew and community first.

He was the kind of leader who never needed to raise his voice to earn respect. His kindness, humour and quiet strength shaped the culture of this station, and that influence will live on in all of us.

Our thoughts, love and deepest support are with Sarah, Izzie and Johnny’s family, as well as our 258 crew and the wider firefighting community who will feel this loss profoundly.

We kindly ask that everyone respects the family’s privacy during this incredibly difficult time.

Johnny will forever remain part of our fire family.
Rest easy, Captain — we’ll take it from here.

Today was a blast at Planet Childcare Centre! 🔥 We swung by to share some crucial fire safety tips with the young crew.
