The Villeneuve Rural Fire Brigade is deeply saddened by the loss of Jasmine.
Jasmine was a truly beautiful young lady who was not only an outstanding firefighter, but also a wonderful mentor, leader and role model to those around her. Her dedication, kindness and passion for helping others will never be forgotten.
She made a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to have known and worked alongside her. She will be dearly missed, and her loss will be felt by many, Jasmine was a active fire fighter from Samsonvale Rural fire brigade.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Jasmine’s family, friends and fellow firefighters during this incredibly difficult time.
Rest peacefully, Jasmine. You will never be forgotten. 🙏
From all members of the Villeneuve Rural

Our thoughts are with Jasmine Cassell’s family, friends and colleagues as they grieve the loss of her 💕 Sadly Jasmine lost her battle on Monday 26th October, she has left a us with fond memories of how determined she was.
