On December 3, 1999

6 Firefighters gave their lives

in Worcester, Massachusetts

The fire, the rescue efforts, the recovery efforts, the community support, the international attention, the media coverage,
the memorial ceremonies, the Presidential visit, the fund raising efforts, the coming together, the families.

No fire has had a greater effect on so many firefighters.

The memories of the Worcester Six...

Firefighter Paul A. Brotherton - Rescue 1

Firefighter Jeremiah M. Lucey - Rescue 1

Fire Lieutenant Thomas E. Spencer - Ladder 2

Firefighter Timothy P. Jackson - Ladder 2

...Will last in our minds and hearts forever.

2013 UPDATE

The old Worcester Central Fire Station was closed and torn down.
On the Franklin Street site of the former Worcester Cold Storage Warehouse,
a new fire station was built and opened in 2008.
After a variety of proposed memorial options
a fitting memorial was built in front of the new
station where the Worcester Six fought
the Final Fire.
Firefighters around the world continue to wear the red W6 on their helmets
as a tribute to the Worcester Six.
