It is with a heavy heart that the Lauderhill Fire Department announces the passing of one of its own, Firefighter Wayne Ware.

Wayne is a twenty-five year member of the Lauderhill Fire Department. Before his passing, he was assigned to the Fire Prevention Bureau where he was a senior Fire Inspector and Plans Examiner. Wayne was an Air Force veteran and an avid amateur radio operator.

Last Friday morning, surrounded by his family and friends, he lost his long and courageous battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife and two young daughters.
