Never Forget, Honor and Learn
This marks the 6th anniversary of the Black Sunday fire in New York City. Two brothers, Lt. Curtis Meyran and Lt. John Bellew. Four other firefighters were severely injured after jumping out of the fourth floor of an apartment building, Firefighters Jeff Cool, Lt. Joe DiBernardo, Firefighter Eugene Stolowski and Firefighter Brendan Cawley to escape severe fire conditions.
These men’s families and own lives have been forever changed and we need to honor their sacrifices and learn from the events that happen at that fire. This fire could happen to any of us. Train hard, honor the fallen and remember the lives and families left behind.
Stay safe and train hard.

Jason,
This is the fire that sparked the use of the NY bailout kit correct?
Stay safe.
As quoted by traditions training "Let no mans ghost say his training let him down"
Never forget our fallen brothers and the sacrifices they made doing the job we all love.

I think this was the "straw that broke the camels back" so to speak. I don't know all of the particulars, but after this tragic event the FDNY did issue harnesses with bailout kits to all of their personnel. At least that is the way I understand it. If I am wrong and there is someone else who has more knowledge of this, please let us know.
Thanks,
Jason
