Today, we remember Firefighter Jeffrey Deschenes of the North Andover Fire Department. Jeff was more than awards and recognitions he earned throughout his career, though they spoke volumes about the kind of firefighter and person he was. Jeff dedicated his life to helping others on what
were often their worst days.

But beyond the uniform was a husband, a father of two,
a friend, and someone deeply loved by his family, department and community. His loss continues to be felt deeply by all who knew him.

At the Hundred Club of Massachusetts, we honor Jeff’s life, service, and legacy, while continuing to stand beside the family he loved so dearly. May we never forget the man behind the badge.

The following is a statement from the North Andover Firefighters Local 2035 Bargaining Committee:

All that is required from the Town Manager and Fire Chief is a commitment to maintain full staffing at current levels within the fire department. This will ensure the safety and well-being of both the residents and firefighters. Establishing this commitment would facilitate the negotiation of a mutually beneficial agreement.
