The Worcester fire so cruelly deprived five families of their fathers, six wives of their husbands and a community of its heroes so close to a joyous religious holiday.
All I can say is this: If you're awakened by a fire alarm at 6 a.m. tomorrow and the fire trucks arrive at your door, go to the firefighters and tell them "thanks." I don't what effect the words will have on those ever-present protectors, but I suspect, at a time when they grieve for their brothers in the fire service, a sincere acknowledgement will provide great comfort.
