Just to bump this back to the top....
I'd like to take a minute to honor the memory of three Detroit firefighters who died in the line of duty at a five alarm fire in a vacant warehouse at 4584 Jeffries service drive, box 382, on March 12, 1987.
- Lt Paul Schimeck, Engine 10
- Lt David Lau, Engine 26
- Trial Firefighter Larry McDonald, Engine 26.
Truly a sad and tragic day, and the inspiration for Bill Day's famous "Crying Dalmatian" editorial cartoon.
Bill Eisner [[a well-known fire photographer for 50 years) submitted an article to Firehouse magazine. That text, along with pictures, can be found here.
May their sacrifices and memory live on.
