The former Army reservist leaves behind wife Sarah and two children, parents and three brothers. An online book of condolence for Frankie has now been opened with people asked to submit their name and any message they would like to share to remember him.
Sarah Nattrass, Assistant Chief Fire Officer and Director of Service Delivery at GMFRS, said: “We are deeply saddened to hear of the sudden death of one of our colleagues and share our heartfelt condolences with Frankie’s family, friends and colleagues. Frankie was part of our GMFRS family for more than six years as a much-loved member of Green Watch, Broughton, and he will be very sadly missed by all his friends and colleagues."
Frankie joined GMFRS on January 29, 2018 following a career in banking and serving with the machine gun platoon of the Bury Fusiliers. The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) have also paid tribute to Frankie, who supported a Care 4 Calais Charity trip to France in November 2023.
An FBU spokesperson added: "Frankie was one of 12 FBU members who volunteered their time to travel to France to support the Care 4 Calais Charity in November of 2023. Care 4 Calais supports the thousands of refugees and people seeking asylum across the UK and northern France. They offer their time to collect and distribute essential items and provide social support, and to help in many other different ways, from replying to messages, to fundraising and admin.
"The charity could not provide this support without dedicated and caring people like Frankie. His support will not be forgotten by the FBU or by the many people his efforts undoubtedly helped contributed to making refugees lives better."
Friends, colleagues and members of the public are invited to share a message on the online book of condolence which will be collated and shared with Frankie's family. The full name and comments of those sharing condolences will not be made available to others.
The online condolences page will remain open until after Frankie’s funeral before they are shared with his family.
Sad, what was his Vax Status?
44 is ripe old age, if vaxxed.
I would be curious what the death rates by age were prior to 2020, as compared to the past couple of years.
Fire fighter. Vax likely mandated to keep his job.
You ever get the feeling population reduction is moving quite rapidly? With open borders, we might as well call it “replacement”
Why aren’t we allowed to get those numbers?
VAX!
I’m an Occupational physician.
FEMA did a study here in Georgia with the Duluth Firefighters a few years ago to determine why to firefighters die from heart attacks, more than any other profession? By far actually.
More than police officers, plumbers, lawyers, etc.
The heart attacks occur while fighting fires, waiting to fight a fire, after fighting a fire, at home resting, while on vacation and even in retirement.
The study, double blind, found that 33% of all firefighters over have subclinical heart disease, and of those, 50% have significant multi vessel disease.
So, if you have a fire dept with 100 firefighters, 33 will have subclinical coronary artery disease, and of those around 15 will have significant occlusion.
If you are just testing the ones over 50 years of age, the incidence is probably higher.
In fact they had to stop the study, to tell these guys. One of the firefighters had triple vessel disease and he was a try-athelete.
No one knows why.
We think that it’s because they carry one or more of the coronary artery disease genes at a greater frequency than other professions.
And why is that?
Probably, because firefighters tend to marry into firefighter families, esp in big cities.
I am quite sure that this young man died from subclinical heart disease.
The good news is that a 16 hour fasting blood glucose and insulin resistance assessment are the two best screening tests. Which are cheap.
If you are a fighter, know a firefighter, have a firefighter in your family, you should be tested for subclinical coronary heart disease.
If anyone wants more info on this, email me.
I am of the opinion that ANY records will be skewed just as they manipulated all information being presented during the virus hysteria itself. Any legitimate reporting showing high rates of death in the young and middle aged will be ridiculed and squashed within the main stream media.
It doesn’t need to be by cause. Just a set of grand total numbers. For example, what percentage of those aged 36-40 died in 2015-2019 compared to 2020-2024.
