Hows NYC?
In not knowing the correct use of the signal, and in respect of it, we have modified it to a signal 3-3-3 or something similar for non-LODD funerals.
We often use a traditional bell service and/or last alarm radio message - both of which are quite compelling.
It's something we take very seriously and consider it a huge honor when the family of one of our fallen brothers ask us to participate in and/or coordinate all of the funeral arrangements. It's a lot of work but equally rewarding.
I also have very strong feelings about which fire service funeral practices should be reserved for LODDs. Unfortunately, I see many of the practices "abused" during non-LODD funerals and what's left when an LODD occurs?
It's also my perception that some non-LODD funerals are going "over-the-top" so to speak and there's an unspoken sense of what can we do to make the next one even more special.
Just my thoughts on the subject. Thanks for the insight.
We deal with and help coordinate a lot of firefighter funerals, LODDs and non-LODDs.
in th FDNY, is Signal 5-5-5-5 reserved for LODDs or is it used to identify the death of any active member of the department, whether LOD related or not?
SIGNAL 5-5-5-5 HAS BEEN TRANSMITTED:
IT IS WITH REGRET THAT THE DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES THE DEATH OF FIREFIGHTER 1ST GRADE JOSEPH GRAFFAGNINO OF LADDER CO. 5 WHICH OCCURRED ON AUGUST 18, 2007 AS A RESULT OF INJURIES SUSTAINED WHILE OPERATING AT MANHATTAN BOX 0047 TRANSMITTED AT 1537 HRS ON AUGUST 18, 2007.

FF Graffagnino and FF Beddia are the 1,136th & 1,137th FDNY members to pay the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
May they rest in peace
