A day to remember the Worcester 6
WORCESTER — At 6:13 p.m. on Dec. 3, 1999, the men of Worcester Fire Department Rescue 1, Ladder 2 and Engine 3 were among the firefighters dispatched to the Worcester Cold Storage and Warehouse Co. building, a mammoth and maze-like building. There were reports of smoke in the area.
A blaze quickly spread, fueled by the layout of the building and the flammable materials contained within.
Firefighters Paul A. Brotherton, Jeremiah Lucey, and Joseph T. McGuirk, and Lts. Thomas E. Spencer, James F. "Jay" Lyons, and Timothy P. Jackson perished in the flames that consumed the building on that cold December night 14 years ago.
Today, Worcester firefighters and the community will remember - as they do every year - the bravery of the "Worcester 6" in a solemn remembrance at 6 tonight at the Franklin Street site, now home to a fire station.
Fire Deputy Chief Geoffrey Gardell will be just one of many firefighters and others who plan to be there tonight, as he has every year.
"Every year we're going to be there," Chief Gardell said. "There will be a gathering, nothing official."
A pipe and drum contingent made up of members of the Worcester Fire Department will be on hand.
