Tonight we remember our Brothers in Boston. Thoughts and prayers to Lt. Edward J. Walsh (E33), father of 3 and Firefighter Michael R. Kennedy(L15), USMC Veteran. - Last alarm Box 9-1579. 298 Beacon Street.
As someone from Boston its been great to see everyone around the country sending support, this happened not more than 2 miles from my college.
I only quoted this since it was a walk-out basement at the rear of the building. I believe most of the injuries were burns and smoke inhalation, there were over 150 firefighters on the scene. Fire started just before 3pm and from what I saw on the news was smoldering by 6pm. Roof sections collapsed, and I remember my heart stopping when I was listening to the live feed of BFD and a fire fighter saying he was on the roof when part of it collapsed.
Thank you all for your service.
I hope to join the ranks of men and women who run into the fire to save lives in the coming year.
