Remembering the fallen



Eleven (11) years ago today the fire service as a whole and the fire department of Worcester, Massachusetts in particular were shaken by the death of six (6) firefighters in cold-storage warehouse building in Worcester. Making the ultimate sacrifice that day were:

1. F/F Paul Brotherton, age 41
2. Lt. Jeremiah Lucey, age 38
3. Lt. Thomas Spencer, age 42
4. F/F Timothy Jackson, age 51
5. F/F James Lyons, age 34
6. F/F Joseph McGuirk, age 38

My hope is, after reading this, you will take a minute and say a prayer for the families of these men and for those who everyday put their lives on the line to protect our lives and our property.

May their sacrifice that fateful night never be forgotten
Until next time . . .
