I was a student at General John Stricker Middle School and could remember seeing the huge plumbe of smoke when I left the school that day around 2:30p. The news told the sad story that day and I remember the Wise Ave station had a black banner on it for a long time afterwards. That day exposed the dangers of firefighting and I’ve always been a grateful donor since.

Dave;
Thank you for posting this tribute. I was there that day, and there is no way to describe the feeling when we realized that three members were still inside the building. I have never looked at a building fire the same way since.
