The FDNY remembers FF John P Devaney, TL-131, who lost his life on February 3rd, 1989. TL-131 responded to a fire at Box 3803, 217 Van Brunt Street in the Red Hook Section of Brooklyn. They were informed by Brooklyn Dispatch of a call reporting people trapped. FF Devaney went into a 3rd floor apartment to search for a mother and her children. He was only in the room a couple of seconds when it flashed over. The intensity of the explosive flash over (2,000 degrees), melted his facemask and incinerated him. The mother and her 2 children were found on the 4th floor. FF Devaney was only 36 years old, a 10 year veteran of the department.
In 1986, NYPD Officer DelPino subdued a man with a sword, who had already killed 2 people on the Staten Island Ferry. Today, his family is trying to let his memory and name live on. Please help our brother's family, sign the petition to have a Ferry Boat named after a NYC Hero who put other's lives in front of his own. Follow the link, leave your digital signature. Thank you!

This is extremely hard to believe that a warehouse that burned for days was caused by firemen improperly extinguishing a previous fire. Was the warehouse made of cardboard?
