Vaughn Farnham Oakland’s longtime deputy fire chief, ‘local hero’ dies

Vaughn Farnham, a 58-year member of Oakland’s Fire Department and its deputy chief, died Thursday at his home in Oakland. The announcement was made by his sister, Jane Farnham Butler, in a social media post Friday. The death was confirmed by Oakland Fire Rescue in a statement posted Friday, though no cause of death was provided and his age wasn’t immediately available. “Vaughn loved the fire department,” Farnham Butler’s post read. “He was born to be a firefighter. It was part of our family. My father and my brother Don were firefighters.” Although her post noted that Vaughn “requested no funeral or obituary,” Farnham Butler said that “he could be grumpy and stubborn just like his father and brother so I will honor his request, but it doesn’t mean I can’t say a few things.”
