Thank You For Your Service, Thank You All, Have A Great Christmas, God Will Be With You.
the politicians need to get it through their fucking heads that with poorly trained or funded or God forbid, both firefighters, the city, and the people of that city will be in much greater danger. the budget cuts are ridiculous. we need to stop spending money on nuclear weapons that will probably never get used, if we put that money in the fire service, we could avoid many unnecessary LODD's or front line injuries.
My maternal grandfather was a mechanic for Worcester Fire on Grove Street for many years, and my cousin was a firefighter for Auburn and he was on scene on the I290 overpass. My grandfather can no longer watch 'Backdraft' or 'Ladder 49'. My dad knew Joe McGuirk and my grandfather retired after 12/3/99. I attended the precession and I cried along with my dad and grandfather because they knew these men and were heartbroken by this tragedy.
NEVER FORGET 12/3/99 WORCESTER 6
Denis Leary need to stop pretending like he a fire fighter.
Holy shit! What an emotional tribute ? kudos...

Too bad Brian Pendleton wasn't around to be interviewed for this. He was such a crucial part of the group in their early years
Oh gosh loved this Band as a young girl... So cool.
i want to know too, no one replyed to you yet?
Interesting! What is it about certain rock band drummers? There seems to be a certain... eccentricity (to use a mild description) about men such as Viv Prince, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Ginger Baker and others. Even Charlie Watts, in his understated way, is something of an oddball.
Top R&B garage band, but they quickly went to shit when they jumped on the psychedelia bandwagon.
Check out the Top of the
Brilliant! Pleased to share this with the world, such good music and great intent.
❤❤
It's brilliant that this band is being celebrated again. Chris is still turning out great stuff on his Kickstarter and MuZiK KluB and TWELVE initiatives which are all well worth checking out.
LOVE Six By Seven - the best band ever to come from Nottingham - FACT!
Excellent band..I'm hooked. Def ahead of their time. Hopeful for the very near future!
I hope those two homeless people were arrested and charged multiple counts of murder and arson, or better yet, burned to death.
I know we all who live & work here in Worc ma. I was in oxford working a medic shift. The Sunday after I worked my Worc Ems job ! Not 1 of us who worked in this city for weeks after will ever forget ! I certainly will always make sure I live my life to my best ! God bless ‘ I went to MFA late in my career , the others in my class except my Ems partner were the only ones who knew them or the true feeling. It was a tough last MFA day hearing the mayday , the years later show us we can be stronger & better ‘ let us just remember some of this follows us & we will push forward ??.
RIP.
Firefighting is something nobody will understand except, firemen.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONG MAKE A DAMN MOVIE ABOUT THIS WITH DENIS LEARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crystal Hopkins around any were
The 7th hero is the Chief who ordered everyone out of the building. Others would have perished. He made a very difficult decision, but the right decision.
Denis Leary was in rescue me
I did not find the fire service appealing to me until 2010 when I got out of the military...but the brother hood and everything about it is what attracted me to it...I was able to make it to LT. Jason Menard wake service and that is something I will never forget for the rest of my life...I am now a career firefighter and wouldn't trade it for anything else..RIP my brothers
Real heros me I'm just a man who knows it's only super heros are in movies
I truly believe Firefighters really are the bravest among us. No power trips, no arrogance, just bravery and self sacrifice. Thank you to all our beloved Firefighters!
The day the DEVIL won. Here's to the 6 brave members who did there job without any questions or reservations to get the job done. TO THE BRAVE 6?????
Great stuff...let them live on forever because they are part of what is best in us all.
Tommy Spencer is my cousin. My mom and I were watching the fire. It was horrible. We didn't even know he was in there till the next day. RIP Worcester 6
film fact: Ladder 49 was inspired by the Cold Storage Fire.
2:22, I have been a firefighter for 15 years and have done fire inspection for 7. That building is sprinklered and if you have buildings change occupancy or illegally subdivide because of lack of inspections or code enforcement then I dunno. Don’t want to ever see a brother lose their life but If the loss was preventable before the fire started.
Engine..... ladder.....battalion
Tears rolling down my face while watching this video. I remember being 6 years old and my dad taking me to the impromptu memorial that had sprung up on the location so we could pay our respects and lay down some flowers. I'd never seen him cry before but that day we both did. God bless those men and all the firefighters and their families. They are the best and the bravest.
Too bad this didn't focus on the irresponsible firefighting tactics that got all of Worchester's firefighters killed. Memorials don't save lives. Search and Rescue without first eliminating all Visible Threats through "Horizontal" Ventilation and suppression of the fire, is fool hardy at best. The odds of people being inside that structure were remote so firefighter life safety should have been job one and should Always be Job One. An injured or dead firefighter is no good to anyone. Everything stops when there is a Mayday call. Victims, are on their own at that point. If you can't easily and quickly Get Out, then you shouldn't be Going In! You don't venture beyond your suppression and ventilation. The Worchester Fire Department has needed new leadership for years but everyone including the chief, would rather focus on great funerals than evaluating tactics.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Worcester aint shit just like those firefighters lol
These 6 men sacrificed their lives because they felt it was their duty to make sure no innocent civilians were inside the building...that is true courage...RIP WFD 6

GOD BLESS OUR FF'N LADS, FIGHTIN THAT FECKIN DEMON. GOD BLESS ALL WHO STAND IN HARM'S WAY ~ AMEN
8:53 hey it’s the guy from rescue me
Lovely tribute building the fire house on the warehouse site....the brave men are keeping an eye on their sons
It's truly sad that these men lost their lives, but the simple fact here is that the Officer didn't control the men and the situation was so badly handled that these men lost their lives needlessly. Panic reigned and all was lost. Right from the get-go, things were done wrong, some guys didn't have SCBA in a sealed, non-vented building, no search ropes, inadequate lighting etc There should have been a call for extra manpower and search ropes and lighting and a slow, methodical search should have been made . The only life hazard in this building was the firefighters, the squatters knew this building layout and were long gone when the company arrived
Learn from this....where was the size-up and and cautious approach to a known hazardous building ? This wasn't heroic, it was tragic. May they Rest in Peace
Before i started flying F-16s i was a volunteer firefighter. I know its not the same as being a full time firefighter but i did get to experience alot of the same things such as going in burning buildings, using the jaws to cut people out of cars, and so forth. Firefighters will always have my utmost respect. every time i strapped into my jet in Afganistan and Iraq i always carried a small picture of the Twin Towers with the number 343 on the back of it along with the number of civilians in my flight suit and i still have that picture till this day. It takes a special person to run inside of a burning building while everyone else is running out.
The hair on that baby though.
Nonsense going in there "looking for people" ??♂️ unacceptable
May God bless and keep our hero's safe. these men were a representation of all the Firefighters and reuse workers across our country and indeed, the world. Each death provides a learning tool to be used to save thousands of other firefighters To these men and women, I love you all. And let us try to remember this love they give us, by giving them a comfortable living. They have enough to worry about on their job. They should not need to worry about paying bills.
The red line is a thin one
What an awful feeling to be trapped in a burning building and knowing you are going to die. I believe that fire fighters, both volunteer and paid are not paid and respected enough. People will complain about their taxes having to support them but want them there wen needed.
This is proof that decision need to made as a team. Not sent in to die by the Captain!
I will say the granite mountain hotshots story had me bawling
Udizzy Will Never forget, The WFD has changed my life. The Men and women in this video mean so much to Me. I want to thank everyone involved in the making of this awesome show of support for our great city and The Wonderful Fire service we have looking over us every day, Proud to be from Worcester Ma. The Dizz.
I remember this as if it were yesterday?
Never forget!
I still remember watching this on the news. I was so upset. I now have family that is in firefighting and this tragedy and the 6 firefighters will always be remembered.
I think this is what 3000 degrees is about
great work on this!!! It's a very moving documentary and memorial to the Worcester 6. 10/10
These 6 men sacrificed their lives because they wanted to make sure no innocent civilians were inside the building...that is true courage
Great tribute. Sad day.
Im taking my CPAT and written soon I could not be more happy and my family and fiancée has never been so proud of me... truly this was my calling as I’ve saved my brothers and cousins life once in our youth and protected my friends against bullies growing up... my last name is Pyro as well. God bless America ?? God I love this country our military our medical/EMS FD and PD departments!
?? i will be the best fireman i can be for my future family team ??
? TRUCK 5
As a german firefighter id love to take part on october 3rd.
harder as it sounds im a student so no money and the ongoing pandemic.
respect
That was the first evac tones I ever heard, and to this day every time I hear them now I can’t control the tears running down my cheeks. I will never forget that night, hearing the frantic voices. God Bless all firefighters for what they give every time they get a call. They can’t pay them enough for the unconditional sacrifices.
I'm just getting into fire service but this was one of the first slides TVFD CT showed us in training, thank you for your service and we got you 6 from here hope to be as great as you
https://youtu.be/1aLGExBveYA?t=697 you have to be kidding me right !?
I'm retired now, but I was a Shrewsbury firefighter at the time. I knew Jay Lyons, and I still miss him.
I new a firefighter he got killed in the station
Living just outside of Worcester, for weeks and months afterwards people would see my last name and offer me condolences. I didn't have the heart to tell them that I wasn't actually related (although my last name does come from the same family, but no blood relation)
I was 12 in 1999 when it happened. I grew up in grafton, my dad worked at St Vincent’s as a pharmacist, and I remember the tears streaming
I’ll never forget the front page photo of the telegram the day after.
21 years later, I’m a cop in the Chicago area where my wife is from. I carry a grafton police and fire patch in my vest.
We can't have first responders lives in jeopardy by having our own govs cutting the budgets of FIRST RESPONDERS in any city because they are cutting our lives too we need to stand up against this more than just saying it we need to protest and do it
The devil took 6 heroes but they gave 7 sons back. RIP from a son of a career firefighter.
Rip ??? I was just a kid my father lived in the city at the time...
Not all angels have wings
Very well done. What a beautiful tribute and living legacy that would make them proud. My heart goes out to those who loved and miss them dearly.
"7 Son's" would be a great title for a movie.
not maudlin, at all
I believe that we should give firefighters, policemen and rescuers all the most modern and best that humanity has. This does not mean that we must give whatever they want, it means that we must give everything we can give, lives depend on it.
Rest In Peace
My dad is our chief we watch out for him he watches out for us I could not emagine my life with out him but he is a good leader he would not let anything happend to his kids or his guys. As chief
i was in middle school very sad knew one of them that had kids i went to school wit in auburn
Rest easy brother will take from here you have made your last alarm you may now rest
Donald Courtney is my grandpa. He is the keeper of all the momentos that people dropped off after this tragic fire.
