This morning shortly before Noon Holbrook Regional Emergency Communications Center toned out a possible structure fire located at 59 Margaret Street the caller reported there was a fire in their house NC2, Engine 5, Engine 6 and Ladder 1 were dispatched. Both ambulances NA4 and NA5 were already on separate medical runs and were unavailable to respond to the structure fire

Enroute companies were advised that there was smoke coming from the house and the caller had evacuated. Engine 6 arrived on scene and found smoke coming from the home and stretched a hose-line for fire attack. NC2 ordered the Working Fire to be struck and advised Ladder 1 to perform a primary search for any occupants in the building and Engine 5 to connect a hydrant and lay it into Engine 6. Westwood E5 and Walpole E1 responded to the scene to assist companies, a Dedham Engine responded to NFD Headquarters to cover the town.

Crews operated on scene for just over 2 hours overhauling and checking for extension. Norwood Fire Investigators and the State Fire Marshals Office remained on scene conducting an invesigation into the cause of the fire. The structure fire is 1 of 15 calls so far this shift Group 2 Firefighters have responded to today.

“Firemen are going to get killed. When they join the department they face that fact. When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of work. They were not thinking of getting killed when they went where death lurked. They went there to put the fire out, and got killed. Firefighters do not regard themselves as heroes because they do what the business requires.”

-Chief Edward F. Croker, FDNY, speaking upon the death of a deputy chief and four firefighters in February of 1908

26 years ago today 6 Worcester Firemen answered the call and made the ultimate sacrifice. Please take a moment today to remember these men and their families, and above all their bravery.
