Michael "Mac" Kim MacCormack

Captain Michael “Mac” MacCormack dedicated more than 26 years of service to his community through the County of Brant (Paris) Fire Department, retiring in 2012, though he never truly left the fire service behind.

Passionate about firefighter training and mentorship, Mac continued to shape future generations through his work with ice and swift water rescue training, the Pre-Fire Service Program at Conestoga College and the County of Brant Training Committee.
